Eminem fans can get their hands on their own “Berzerk” boombox as part of a new capsule collection celebrating the 10th anniversary of The Marshall Mathers LP 2.
On Thursday (November 23), the Detroit rap icon took to Instagram to unveil the collector’s item, which is a Bumpboxx Flare8 bluetooth boombox adorned with various Slim Shady-related graphics.
“The Flare8 is a modern day boombox with 200 watts of true power,” reads the production description. “This is perfect for those seeking deeper bass to go along with crystal clear music. The Flare8 doubles as a guitar amp and includes a wireless microphone.
“Even with the music loud, the Flare8 can last up to 12 hours with the rechargeable lithium battery. There are multiple options to choose how to play your music: use the bluetooth which can connect from long distances; use the 3.5 mm aux input; or play music from the USB drive.”
The “Berzerk” boombox, which is inspired by the one that appears in Em’s “Berzerk” music video, retails for $400 and is expected to ship on January 4, 2024.
Meanwhile, the rest of the MMLP2 10th anniversary capsule collection includes a signed copy of Eminem’s Amazing Spider-Man comic, a range of T-shirts, hoodies and caps, and limited edition CD and vinyl copies of the album.

Eminem’s merch announcement comes shortly after he confirmed rumors he’d be appearing in the popular video game Fortnite, although details about the exact nature of the collaboration have yet to be announced.
On Tuesday (November 21), soon after it was reported that he’s set to perform for the game’s “Big Bang” live event, the man himself corroborated the news by posting a short animated teaser on social media.
“[satellite emoji] calling all grandmas 12.2,” Em wrote in the caption, referencing his “at the crib, playin’ Fortnite with your grandma” lyric from 2020’s “Tone Deaf.”
Eminem also recently earned big praise from a fellow rap legend for one of his business ventures outside of his music. After receiving a jar of Em’s Mom’s Spaghetti Pasta Sauce, LL COOL J took to social media to give the Oscar-winner culinary props.
“Mr. Marshall, thank you for the Mom’s Spaghetti sauce, man,” LL said while holding a jar of Em’s sauce. “Yo, once I hook this up, I’ma tear it up, baby. I appreciate you. I’m gonna have to go left on my diet for a minute but it’s all good.”
He continued: “I appreciate you man. Let’s get it. And I had fun at the restaurant in Detroit. See you soon, baby. Peace.” The rapper-actor kept the caption short and sweet, writing: “@eminem Thank you B!!”
