Eminem's Latest Album 'Kamikaze' Features a Bitcoin Shout-Out

Rapper and actor Eminem has given bitcoin's public awareness another boost, giving it a mention in a song on his just-released album, "Kamikaze."

In track dubbed "Not Alike," fellow artist Royce Da 5'9' – who guest features on the piece – raps:

"Remember everybody used to bite nickel, now everybody doing bitcoin."

The album was launched on midnight Thursday in a surprise announcement by Eminem, according to reports. His previous release was "Revival" in December 2017.

While the crypto citation is unlikely to bump the price of bitcoin, it comes as the latest mainstream entertainment industry reference to the top cryptocurrency by market valuation.

In one of the most memorable mentions, chat-show host Ellen DeGeneres took a humorous look at cryptocurrency in her regular show back in February. "Everybody is talking about bitcoin," she said, but, "nobody understands it."

She went on to say about investors in bitcoin, "You'll either be a millionaire or you'll be totally broke."
