It later received platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Commercially, the album reached number one in 18 countries, becoming Eminem's ninth consecutive number-one album in the United States, and later becoming the best-selling hip-hop album of 2018. The album was promoted with three singles: " Fall", " Venom", from the 2018 movie of the same name, and " Lucky You", and a music video for "Good Guy", along with a supporting tour. The album also generated some controversy for its diss tracks against various artists. Some praised it as an improvement over the rapper's previous album and a welcome return to his more aggressive style, while others criticized its lack of adaption to the current sound of hip hop, and as a result, found it outdated. Kamikaze received mixed reviews from critics. The artwork is an homage to Beastie Boys' debut album, Licensed to Ill (1986). Kamikaze represents a continuation of this response, containing various insults against critics and rappers alike. In response to the criticism, Eminem released a remix of the song " Chloraseptic" in January 2018 featuring 2 Chainz and Phresher. įollowing the polarizing reception of his previous album, Revival (2017), music journalists debated over whether the rapper's relevance and ability were waning. Dre served as executive producers, while production was handled by Eminem himself alongside a variety of producers such as Boi-1da, Tay Keith, Ronny J, Mike Will Made It, frequent collaborator Luis Resto, and others.
It features guest appearances from Joyner Lucas, Royce da 5'9", Jessie Reyez, and uncredited vocals by Justin Vernon from the band Bon Iver. The album was released with no prior announcement. Kamikaze (stylized as KAMIKAZƎ) is the tenth studio album by American rapper Eminem, released on August 31, 2018, through Aftermath Entertainment, Shady Records, and Interscope Records.
