Eminem continues to push "Kamikaze" with a brand new line of merch.

To say 2018 was an eventful year for Eminem would be an understatement. After missing the mark with 2017's Revival, Em faced a wave of criticism from hip-hop heads and fans, in general, over the project's pop-centric sound. Thankfully, he redeemed himself with the release of his surprise album, Kamikaze. The release of Kamikaze came with a wave of its own criticism and controversy, but it marked the return of Slim Shady to his die-hard fan base. Today, the rapper continues to push the project with a brand new line of merch.

Eminem fans can cop themselves a new line of Kamikaze merch during Black Friday Weekend. The rapper took to social media to announce the "Kamikaze Night Combat" line. "#KAMIKAZE NIGHT COMBAT - REPORT FOR DUTY THURSDAY AT 21:00," he wrote alongside a mysterious video teaser and a link to the Eminem merch store. The link to the Eminem store encourages fans to sign up for "First Access" to the merch drop. For now, the only items that can be seen are a military-influenced hoodie and a black long-sleeve t-shirt. In addition to the clothing items, Eminem will also be selling special edition vinyl and cassettes.

While Em's been pushing Kamikaze, fans have been hoping that hits the road soon. The rapper announced February dates in Australia for "Rapture Tour." Hopefully, Eminem is plotting on a North American summer tour for 2019.
