What You (May Have) Missed In Music News This Week: New Eminem, Little Mix & Kings of Leon

Shady’s back! Eminem returns to tear into Donald Trump in a new song & confirms there's a new album on the way

Eminem has returned in a big way – by hitting out at possible future President Donald Trump with a new diss track. ‘Campaign Speech’ sees Eminem hitting out at Trump’s supporters: "You say Trump don't kiss ass like a puppet? / 'Cause he runs his campaign with his own cash for the funding?

Eminem later raps: "And that's what you wanted? / A f**king loose cannon who's blunt with his hand on the button/ Who doesn't have to answer to no one?/ Great idea!"

Listen to ‘Campaign Speech’ below:

Now, do you want to see something a bit weird? Donald Trump actually supported Eminem when Slim Shady launched his Sirius XM radio station Shade 45 12 years ago – by delivering a presidential speech.

In the speech, Trump says:

"This is the best city anywhere in the world. Am I right? Of course I'm right," Trump boasts in the 2004 speech. “I’m always right - I'm Donald Trump, I'm always right. I know a winner when I see one, and Donald Trump is telling you right now, Slim Shady is a winner. He's got brains, he's got guts, and he's got Donald Trump's vote!"

Kings Of Leon Put On A Thrilling, Intimate Secret Show On Tuesday

On Tuesday morning, Kings of Leon announced a surprise gig at the intimate (for KOL), 600-capacity venue 229, in London. Obviously, the tickets sold out immediately. What followed was one of Kings of Leon’s best gigs in years. It was perfectly paced, and tracks like ‘Trani’ and ‘Slow Night, So Long’ got a deserved run-out. Frontman Caleb himself grinned as he said; “this is the most fun I’ve had playing a show in many years”. Read our review of the special performance here.
