Last night, the rapper took to social media to announce the deluxe version of the record, which has been titled the ‘Expanded Mourner’s Edition’. The expanded version is due to arrive this Friday September 13.
So far, no other information has been revealed about the record, including the additional tracks that weren’t on the original release. Its announcement came with a trailer, in which Eminem is seen walking into a store to pick up a carton of milk.
He drops the carton after seeing a missing poster on its side, signifying that his alter-ego Slim Shady has vanished. He’s then chased out of the store by producer Alchemist.
Watch the trailer below.
