Eminem’s Recovery hits stores today, and some are saying that Em’s latest album couldn’t have come soon enough—it’s quite possible, paired with Drake’s Thank Me Later sales from last week, that the LP might finally help boost CD sales out of its slump. That remains to be seen (it’s going to take more than rabid Drizzy and Eminem fans to save the music industry), although it’s pretty much a given that Em will be honored with a sixth album to debut at #1 on the Billboard 200.

Recovery‘s deluxe edition comes with two bonus tracks, “Ridaz” and “Session One,” featuring Slaughterhouse. Are they worth dropping some extra cash? Hear ’em below!

Slim Shady makes an appearance on the industrial-sounding tune. It’s classic angry Em.

Slaughterhouse – Session One” dl=”0″] The crowd roars over this rock-infused track, produced by Just Blaze, and it’s definitely a punch to the gut, with each member of Slaugherhouse dropping their own powerful verse. Even Kanye West makes a cameo—but only by being name-dropped by Eminem: “Who’s your favorite pain the in the ass, who claims to be spitting the same flames as me, I’m Kanye when he crashed.”
