Eminem is gearing up to drop ‘STANS: The Official Soundtrack’ on August 26, giving fans the perfect sonic companion to his documentary about superfandom. The rapper announced it on Instagram with the caption “I hope you hear it!”, alongside striking cover art of him onstage, hood up, mic in hand – set against a backdrop of fan faces.
More Than Just An Album
Available now to pre-order or pre-save, the soundtrack promises a curated mix of the music that shaped the film’s story, including previously unreleased tracks. It’s set to land as more than just an album, it’s an emotional extension of the STANS film, capturing the highs, lows and everything in between from one of hip-hop’s most complex careers. For collectors, a vinyl edition is also on the way, shipping January 16, 2026.
The Film Behind the Soundtrack
The STANS documentary, produced by Eminem and directed by Emmy winner Steven Leckart, turns the lens toward the fans who have built their lives around his music. Taking its name from his 2000 track ‘Stan’, a cultural landmark that cemented itself in the Oxford English Dictionary, the film dives into the complicated, deeply personal connection between Slim Shady and his global audience.
Through rare archival footage, stylised recreations, and intimate interviews, it explores both the vulnerability and volatility of that bond. The result is a raw, revealing portrait of the relationship between one of rap’s most guarded figures and the people who’ve stood by him for decades.
More Than Merch
Like the film, the soundtrack isn’t just about nostalgia, it’s more like a journey. From ferocious early tracks to introspective moments, it mirrors the emotional range that’s kept Eminem relevant across four decades of platinum releases.
Pre Order/Save Details
Fans can pre-order or pre-save now to lock it in ahead of its August 26 drop.
