Eminem and Jelly Roll joined forces for the first time on The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce)‘s album closer “Somebody Save Me.” Just over a month later, the duo bring their vision to life with a poignant music video, which arrived on Wednesday (Aug. 21).
Em is on the outside looking in watching his three children replay precious moments from their lives that he missed out on due to his demanding career and struggle with addiction. Home video footage of Hailie Jade playing the guitar at a recital, walking across the stage for graduation and blowing out birthday candles; Alaina’s graduation; Stevie opening presents; and brother Nate during the holidays play throughout the hard-hitting clip, bringing Eminem to his knees seeking forgiveness from above.
The Detroit icon lets his anger out on a sleeping version of himself before being lowered into a casket with his tearful family surrounding him. An extended portion of Hailie Jade’s guitar recital performance brings the emotional rollercoaster to a finish
“If you need help, you are not alone,” a message reads at the end of the video, encouraging fans in need of help to visit mental health platform BetterHelp, which aims to remove barriers to mental health access.
The Death of Slim Shady arrived to much fan fare on July 12 and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 281,000 total album units sold in the first week to give Em his 11th chart leader.
“Somebody Save Me” served as a sorrowful album closer, with Jelly Roll dishing out an angelic chorus that heavily samples his “Save Me” hit. The track peaked at No. 27 on the Billboard Hot 100. Following the arrival of “Somebody Save Me,” Jelly Roll got emotional when putting the moment of working with his “childhood hero” into perspective.
“I always say my childhood hero’s lived somewhere between Willie Nelson and Eminem,” he began in his July 12 Instagram post. “I related to every word Eminem wrote. I understand him and felt like he understood me, which was rare cause I spent most of my life feeling misunderstood. … So you can imagine how I felt when I got that the call that Eminem would be sampling my song ‘Save Me’ on his new album. And for him to use the song to discuss the other side of what could’ve happened if he would’ve allowed his demons to win brought me to tears.”
