LISTEN: Eminem Premieres Rihanna Collaboration 'The Monster'

The pair create musical alchemy again!

Published 29th Oct 2013

Eminem has premiered his new Rihanna collaboration ‘The Monster’!

Lifted from Mr Slim Shady’s upcoming eighth studio album ‘The Marshall Mathers LP 2’, ‘The Monster’ sees the rapper and Rihanna combine their talents perfectly once again.

The song centres on Rihanna’s chorus "I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed/Get along with the voices inside of my head/You're trying to save me stop holding your breath", while Eminem cites everything from Bruce Lee to OCD and Dr Dre to sleepwalking on his dextrous verses.
