“Uncle Alfred [Hitchcock] heard you screaming for more…enjoy Side B,” Eminem said upon releasing ‘Side B’ today.

The rapper also dropped a video for ‘GNAT’. It was directed by Cole Bennett of Lyrical Lemonade, who previously helmed his video for ‘Godzilla’.

Eminem plays multiple characters in the clip, including a patient still banged up after a stint in the hospital and an essential worker in a hazmat suit. “These bars are like COVID / You get ’em right off the bat,” he raps. Watch it here:

NME gave ‘Music To Be Murdered By’ a three-star review upon its surprise release in January.

“This one veers between maturity and adolescent outbursts, between clumsy pop commercialism and something close to outsider art,” the review read.

“If he sometimes sounds stuck in the past, Eminem also proves himself capable of growth”.
