Eminem has released the second single from his upcoming album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) , a Michigan posse cut titled “Tobey” featuring BabyTron and Big Sean . Stream it below.

Featuring a Spider-Man referencing chorus from BabyTron (“Tobey Maguire got bit by a spider”), the new track positions each rapper as one of the best from the Detroit area, complete with a reference to the Spider-Man pointing meme in the artwork.

Rapping over bells and a hard rock guitar riff, BabyTron sets the pace by spitting, “My city Leia and I’m Obi-Wan/ Got a mission to pass, I might just be the hope.” Big Sean follows suit with another Star Wars reference (“If he Obi-Wan then I gotta be Yoda/ Don’t need no promoter, we pull up, they know us”) and big ups his city: “Bitch, I come from the D where they BMFing/ Where they movin’ them keys like a chord progression.”

Eminem takes over on the third and final verse, whining about the lack of respect for his contributions to hip-hop: “Ain’t feelin’ your top five favorite rappers/ So I know they ’bout to be pissed with me/ But this to me, is a mystery/ How rappers I’ve already ripped could be/ Higher up on a list than me.”

“Tobey” follows the underwhelming “Houdini” as the latest preview of The Death of Slim Shady , which drops next Friday, July 12th.
