He’s Back And “Not Afraid”

Earlier today, I posted my New Music Radar. My conclusion was that there was nothing worth spending your hard earned money on this week. I lied. Released one day before normal release day (new releases usually come out on Tuesday), Eminem released a new single on iTunes on Monday called “Not Afraid.” Honestly, this isn’t the best Eminem song I’ve ever heard.
