Eminem officially starts new album rollout!

Eminem has just sent the fans into madness as the Detroit legend shares pictures of himself in the studio with Dr. Dre, Royce 5’9″, The Alchemist, Denaun Porter and his recent Shady Records signee, Ez Mil. It is highly possible that all these artists that appear in the picture are featured on the new album or Eminem just invited them for a listening session.

One thing that we know for sure, Dr. Dre will be on the album. “Let me tell you something. Let me explain something right now. Eminem is working on his own album which is coming out this year and I actually talked to him and he said it was okay for me to make that announcement right here on this show. So yeah, the album coming out, I got songs on it and it’s fire. I’m actually going to hear entire album for the first time tomorrow. He holds his music close to his chest so I have not heard everything. I have not even heard everything complete that I’ve done but I’m gonna hear it and he’s putting out album this year. There are things on there that I have to mix that I’ve done but I got a chance to hear album in its entirety.” said Dr. Dre during his visit on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

In the caption of the new post, Eminem wrote: “Nuthin 2 see here… plenty to hear!!!” Busta Rhymes, Bizarre of D12, Boldy James, Fredwreck, Nasaan, King Iso, Adam22, Helluva, DJ Pooh, R-Mean, have all reacted in the comments. Royce 5’9″ also posted the picture with the caption: “3-21-24 At @drdre ‘s House …” On which DJ Premier commented: “On my Born Day. That’s a good day!” Busta Rhymes also commented King Crown emojis. Nasaan, Dem Jointz, Page Kennedy, Smoothvega, have also commented. Ez Mil also re-shared the post with the caption “‘La lang.”

Last time Eminem dropped the full body of work was more than 4 years ago. Em dropped his 11th solo studio album Music to Be Murdered By on January 17, 2020, through Shady Records, Aftermath Entertainment, and Interscope Records. Just like Eminem’s previous studio album Kamikaze (2018), the album was released with no prior announcement. The album was produced by many producers, with Eminem and Dr. Dre serving as executive producers. It features guest appearances from Skylar Grey, Young M.A, Royce da 5’9″, White Gold, Ed Sheeran, the late Juice WRLD, Black Thought, Q-Tip, Denaun, Anderson .Paak, Don Toliver, Kxng Crooked and Joell Ortiz.

The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, selling 279,000 album-equivalent units in its first week. Subsequently, Eminem became the first artist to have ten consecutive number-one albums in the US and one of six artists to have released at least ten US number-one albums. Music to Be Murdered By reached number one in 16 countries. Music critics praised Eminem’s lyrical abilities and the improved production after Kamikaze, while criticism was directed towards the album’s formulaic song structure, lack of innovation, and shock value.

On December 18, 2020, Eminem released a deluxe version of the album, named Music to Be Murdered By – Side B, without any prior announcement. It includes the original album’s 20 tracks along with 16 new ones. It includes a variety of features, with guest appearances from Skylar Grey, DJ Premier, Ty Dolla $ign, Dr. Dre, Sly Pyper, MAJ, and White Gold…Check out Eminem’s latest post below:
