Eminem's midnight surprise: A new album titled 'Kamikaze'

No one saw this coming: Eminem just released his 10th studio album.

The previously unannounced "Kamikaze" landed just after midnight early Friday, including tracks pairing the Detroit rapper with Joyner Lucas, Royce da 5'9" and Jessie Reyez.

The 10-song, three-skit album includes the song "Venom," which will feature in the upcoming film of the same name. The disc also includes two songs featuring Jessie Reyez.

The cover shows the rear end of a fighter plane — recalling a similar cover of the Beastie Boys' 1986 album "Licensed to Ill." The rapper dropped the album just after midnight Thursday, tweeting: "Tried not 2 overthink this 1... enjoy."

The album doesn't find Eminem in a peaceful place. It kicks off with "The Ringer," in which he says he wants to "punch the world" in the face.

It comes eight months after "Revival," which was met with mixed reviews. Unlike the lengthy, intricate build-up campaign for that record, "Kamikaze" flew in out of the blue.
