Legendary US rapper Eminem has just released his 10th album called "Kamikaze" with its cover paying homage to the iconic "Licensed to Ill" album by the Beastie Boys. In his 13 new tracks the rapper recalls Trump, his Grammy Awards and long career as a musician. Several of the tracks feature Canadian singer Jessie Reyez, rappers Joyner Lucas and Royce Da 5'9 and one of the tracks is a part of the "Venom" movie soundtrack.

Eminem's recalling of the people he's worked with or whose works his songs might have affected also didn't go unnoticed.
