Eminem fans woke up to a big surprise this morning.

The Detroit rapper released his new album Kamikaze without warning late on Thursday. Eminem announced it on Twitter in classic Em fashion, middle finger raised 'n' all.

"Tried not 2 overthink this," Marshall Mathers wrote on Twitter while linking to the freshly produced album.

Needless to say that his fans were both startled and happy with the surprise release of the album.

On the album, Eminem calls out a lot of hip hop artists by name.

People are really into rappers dissing each other.

Comedian Kathy Griffin even welcomed Eminem back with a special greeting straight from her pool.

And apparently Griffin also gets a shout out on the album?

Kamikaze is produced by Dr. Dre and also includes contributions from Justin Vernon of Bon Iver and Kendrick Lamar.

It was starting to feel a little empty without you, Em.
