Eminem's Shady XV compilation is still a few days away, but today the legendary rapper shared one of the album's new tracks, titled "Psychopath Killer" (presumably because "Psycho Killer" was already taken), which you can check out below. The five-minute track features verses from YelaWolf and hip-hop supergroup Slaughterhouse, while Em closes out the whole thing with his trademark rapid-fire fury (though he unfortunately still finds time to throw in a gay slur, because he's apparently stuck in high school).
As can be expected from a song titled "Psychopath Killer," the track isn't exactly a party jam. The production is filled out with atmospheric pianos and a slick, moody bassline, but the most refreshing part of the track is its straightforward beat, which harkens back to classic '90s hip-hop and doesn't seem to have any trap influence whatsoever, unlike most hip-hop beats go in these days.

Shady XV is set for release on Nov. 24, and will feature 12 brand new songs from various Shady Records artists, including D12, Yelawolf, 50 Cent, and Slaughterhouse. You can check out the complete tracklist right here.
Eminem's most recent album The Marshall Mathers LP 2 was released back in Nov. 2013. It was his eighth studio album overall, and spawned five singles: "Berzerk," "Survival," "Rap God," "The Monster" featuring Rihanna, and "Headlights."
"[Eminem's] extremely passionate about making music," manager Paul Rosenberg told MLive. "I don't think he views it as punching the clock or anything like that, but it does take a lot of work to be as productive as he is and to maintain the quality that he does."
