Eminem Performs “Walk On Water” At MTV EMAs [WATCH]

mtv-ema-eminem

For the first time since releasing his new single “Walk On Water,” Eminem performed it last night at the 2017 MTV Europe Music Awards. The event took place at London’s SSE Arena, Wembley, where Em delivered a convincing performance without his collaborator, Beyoncé.

Taking Beyoncé’s place, the single’s co-producer and songwritier, Skylar Grey joined Em on stage. As she subbed-in for Beyoncé, not only did she exercise her vocals, but also played the piano simultaneously, draped in an all-white dress. Meanwhile Marshall rocked a hoodie, cargo pants, and high top sneakers.

Aside from his performance, Em was nominated for 35 awards and notched 16 wins. Quite impressive and surprising for an artist who’s last album was 2013’s ‘The Marshall Mathers LP 2’. Amongst the awards Eminem took home “Best Hip-Hop.”

Even Eminem was impressed by the wins and nominations saying, “I’m not really sure how I got this, because I haven’t had an album out in a few years.”

“Walk On Water” is expected to be the first single off Eminem’s forthcoming ‘Revival’ album, expected to be released later this month.

To date 21 Savage’s self-produced “Bank Account” single off ‘ISSA’ album is his most successful, highest-charting single. Celebrating the plateau and all the success the record has brought him, 21 dropped the video for “Bank Account.”

Starring Mike Epps, who like in many T.I. videos from the past plays a goofy character, he takes a on a more serious role here by fighting off what he believes to be robbers attempting to pull off a heist. Upon taking out everyone in his past he stumbles across a grinning Saint Laurent Don, who tells him it’s all an act and he’s shooting a video.

Every time CyHi The Prynce drops a new track, it gets more and more evident how fire his forthcoming No Dope on Sundays’ album will be.
