Eminem's "Not Afraid" is "Uplifting," Says Manager
He doesn't jump this time, though. Instead, he takes a walk through the streets of Newark, N.J. then ends up in a hall of mirrors, where he's confronted by distorted images of himself.

"Not Afraid," which debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100 in May, is the first single from Eminem's "Recovery album (June 22). "Recovery" also features "Won't Back Down," a collaboration with Pink that leaked this week, and "Love the Way You Lie," a track featuring Rihanna.
