Eminem Breaks Quarantine To Raise Hell In His Chaotic ‘Gnat’ Video
The song is just one of sixteen new additions to the Detroit rapper’s ‘Music To Be Murdered By’ album. …
Eminem began the year with his surprise Music To Be Murdered By effort, which gave fans 20 songs with guest appearances from Young M.A, Royce Da 5’9,” Ed Sheeran, Juice WRLD, Don Toliver, Anderson .Paak, and more, and now he’s ending the year in the same way. The Detroit native dropped a surprise “B-Side” edition for the album which came with 16 new songs and a new video for one of the new additions, “Gnat.”
The visual, which is directed by Lyrical Lemonade’s Cole Bennett, finds Eminem sticking to the persona he’s developed throughout his career as the chaotic, hell-raising individual we now know him for. In just under four minutes, he manages to throw shade at Michael Vick, Donald Trump, and Mike Pence, fight off a swarm of oversized gnats, earn his freedom from quarantine, and get shot by a man after he dissed his wife.
As for the song itself, it’s a D.A. Got That Dope-produced effort that finds Marshall comparing his bars to the coronavirus, a line that appears on the chorus and is just one of many references to the virus. The track joins fifteen other songs that fans can be found on the re-issue of Music To Be Murdered By. Across the new additions, Skylar Grey, DJ Premier, Ty Dolla Sign, Dr. Dr, MAJ, Wite Gold, and Sly Paper all make an appearance on Eminem’s latest body of work.
Check out the” Gnat” video above.

E.G. Phillips unveils where silence speaks the loudest on new release “Empathy for the Night Fly”
The mood of E.G. PHILLIPS’s “Empathy for the Night Fly” is instantly cinematic, dark, introspective, and frozen in time. The track sounds like a scene from a late-night club where everything slows down just enough for feelings to come out. The arrangement is jazz-like in that it lets each part breathe. The arpeggiating Rhodes piano comes and goes, giving the impression that the music is thinking, as if it’s moving.
The song is really about recognition, which is when you hear something in someone else’s voice that reminds you of your own experience. It’s subtle, almost fragile, but it has a big effect on people. That emotional connection is what holds the piece together.
That choice seems deliberate, even defiant. It asks the listener to pay attention differently, not just passively. Every break is a part of the story. E.G. Phillips doesn’t just make the mood; he keeps it going. In that space, “Empathy for the Night Fly” becomes a quiet, powerful look at memory, connection, and shared feelings.

Samantha Davis turns heartbreak into power for the last time with new release “The Last Time”
Samantha Davis turned her emotional exhaustion and personal strength into “The Last Time,” a relatable song about breaking a toxic cycle. Frustration, heartbreak, and hard-won clarity fuel the single, which captures that difficult but empowering moment when kindness isn’t seen as weakness.
“The Last Time” is about regaining emotional control. The song’s painfully honest message is that love and patience can only go so far in unhealthy situations. Samantha Davis conveys that emotional weight so honestly that it feels genuine.
The line, “You took my kindness for weakness,” sets the emotional tone of the record. It’s raw, vulnerable, and powerful. After too many chances, the song becomes a final conversation. Not only is there sadness, but also resolve. The song beautifully supports that emotional journey. It’s intense enough to convey heartbreak but also allow for reflection and release.
