Ahead of the release of his highly-anticipated second great hits collection, Eminem has unearthed a music video for his 2009 hit, "Crack a Bottle." The Relapse song features two of the Detroit rapper's frequent collaborators, 50 Cent and Dr. Dre.
"Unlocked from the Shady vault," Eminem captioned a clip from the video on Twitter, Monday, announcing the previously unreleased video.
"Crack a Bottle" remains one of the most successful singles of Eminem's storied career, having set a record at the time for first-week digital sales with 418,000 downloads. It also won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group in 2010.
