After the release of “The Death of Slim Shady: Expanded Mourner’s Edition”, the featured artists wasted no time expressing their excitement and gratitude toward Eminem.
On September 13, Eminem dropped the extended version of his latest album, and while the release was mostly packed with familiar favourites, one track stole the spotlight — an exclusive Shady version of “Fuel”, featuring Westside Boogie and GRIP.
With its tweaked production and angular, syncopated beat, the song gave the two Shady Records artists the perfect canvas to show off their skills, and they delivered big time. Fans couldn’t get enough, as the track shot straight to No. 1 on iTunes Hip Hop on the day of release, marking a new hit for both artists.
Naturally, Boogie and GRIP hit their socials to celebrate. GRIP kept it short and humble, posting a snippet of his verse with the caption:
Thanks @eminem Never woulda thought
Boogie, ever the character, was more animated, posting:
WOW man I’m really on an @eminem album ..Thank u @shadyrecords ..Shit wild
The excitement from the artists has only fuelled the song’s momentum, making it a standout hit from the special edition release.
