Jake Bass teases Linkin Park & Eminem collaboration

Jake Bass, who has recently became a touring member of D12, playing guitar with them internationally, tweeted a picture of himself in the studio with Draven Sebastian Bennington, a son of lead vocalist of Linkin Park, late Chester Bennington, who is also a musician, dropping his debut single last year.

In the caption, Jake Bass wrote: “When two worlds collide… 2nd Generation!!! Y’all ain’t ready for this music!!! @dravenbstudios @linkinpark @eminem #DravenBennington #JakeBass #LinkinPark #Eminem #BocaJMusic #BassmentSounds,” hinting on Linkin Park and Eminem collaboration song? Or maybe a remix or something?

Last year, Draven Bennington also posted a picture with Jake Bass, who is a son of Jeff Bass of Bass Brothers, with the caption: “There are no amount of words to express how amazing last week was! I’m still buzzing off all the energy! Thank you so much @mrjakebass @fbt_studios for taking me in open arms and letting me make magic with you guys! I can’t wait to come back out there soon! Motown here we come! Also thank you so much to the amazing artists @lazdetroit and @aproposmusic you guys are so supportive and helpful and make me feel right at home in the studio! I can’t wait to see what we collab on!”

One fan on X commented: “Eminem // Linkin Park collab ????? Granted this would’ve been way bigger in like 2004 I’m still excited for that mashup.” Another said: “It’s crazy cause Linkin Park and Eminem are my all time favourites. Meteora is actually my fav album ever.” Someone on reddit said: “Teenage me would s–t a brick.” Another said: “Please delete this whole thread. Lol. As a LP fan, it is most definitely Chester’s son and he is an awful artist who has been trying get some clout for his s–tty songs by dragging his dad or Linkin Park’s name into it. His mom is Chester’s ex-wife who sued Chester’s estate for child support and royalties like 3 months after he died. Draven here hates the rest of Chester’s family and the rest of Linkin Park as well. He’s 21 now so he can take the heat.” Someone replied: “After a quick mental breakdown I realized Jake is just clout chasing and worked on some music with Chester’s son 🙁 Nothing to do with Em or LP.”

Couple of months ago, Linkin Park’s co-lead vocalist, rhythm guitarist, keyboardist, primary songwriter and producer Mike Shinoda talked about possible Eminem collaboration during his question and answer session on Twitch: “Am I gonna collab with Eminem? Probably not. I think Eminem is incredible but it’s not on to-do list. Do I want to battle Eminem? You mean imagine me like a toddler getting blown up by a nuclear weapon? Eminem is the greatest freestyle rapper, greatest battle rapper of all time. I don’t give a s–t what anybody says.”

In November 2016, Jake and F.B.T. Productions co-produced and performed the instrumentation on the 20th anniversary remix of Eminem’s 1996 debut single “Infinite”, and produced the mini-documentary Partners In Rhyme: The True Story of Infinite. The single, available for the first time digitally, entered Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales chart at No. 9 with 28,000 downloads sold in its first week. The remix also entered the Digital Song Sales chart at No. 21, the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart at No. 37, the Spotify Viral 50 chart at No. 47 and The Hot 100 at No. 97.

GloRilla lists her Mount Rushmore of rappers

Memphis, Tennessee rapper GloRilla reveals her Mount Rushmore of emcees in the latest episode of the Club Shay Shay podcast with Shannon Sharpe. On Wednesday (April 3, 2024), the Club Shay Shay podcast aired its new episode on their official YouTube channel featuring GloRilla. During the conversation, a member of 2023 XXL Freshman Class discussed her latest hit song “Yeah Glo!” and her journey from Memphis to the music industry limelight. She opened up about her new album, navigating the balance between confidence and self-consciousness, and the influence of Yo Gotti’s mentorship on her career trajectory after signing to his Memphis based label, CMG.

GloRilla also reflected on how haters fuel her determination and reveals her strategy for handling criticism with the support of friends and family. From Michael Jackson to Katt Williams, GloRilla dives into the commercial expectations of the entertainment industry while sharing anecdotes about meeting LeBron James and her admiration for Kobe Bryant. She candidly discussed her love for the Pittsburgh Steelers and why Shannon was once an opp of hers, the ideal first date, and her unique family dynamics, including her supposed cousins Lil Uzi Vert, Cardi B, and Tiger Woods. GloRilla’s upbringing with 10 siblings was much different than most, and she dived into her mother’s extremely religious background and why she was never allowed to have friends over as a child.

From her Top 5 rappers of all time to who she wants to collaborate most with in the music industry, GloRilla shares all of her feelings for the music industry. From her failed experiment as a weed dealer to working numerous odd jobs to becoming one of the hottest names in the rap game, GloRilla’s journey is filled with humor, heart, and a raw authenticity that shines through in every story she shares on this episode of Club Shay Shay.

At one point of the interview, she revealed her rap Mount Rushmore: “I’m only 24 so I can’t say rappers that were before me because I don’t know their music. So, Imma say Lil Wayne. Lil Wayne is one of the best rappers in the whole world. Imma say Lil Wayne, Drake, Eminem and Jay-Z.” said GloRilla. Watch the new interview below:

Joyner Lucas talks how Atlantic Records didn’t care about him shooting a video with Eminem

Joyner Lucas and Dhruv Joshi have recently sat down with Math Hoffa and the crew on My Expert Opinion podcast where the two talked about many topics, including Atlantic Records not backing them up to shoot the video of “Lucky You” with Eminem in Detroit.

“I tried to get the first class flight to shoot the video of Lucky You with Eminem in Detroit. They told me no. Label told me no. [That’s a single. That’s top 3 record on Billboard. He about to shoot the video with Em] Nothing they did. I built the relationship with Royce by myself. Shout out to my brother Royce. I built the relationship directly with Royce and then we went through Marshall and I built my own relationship with him in which we did the record and I had to go to Detroit to shoot the video. I had asked Atlantic if they could pay for the first class cause again, I’m not making money at that time. I took $100,000 in advance from my deal in 2016. I shoot that video in 2018. [So that $100k is gone bro. It’s two years].” said Joyner Lucas.

Then he continued: “First thing I did with $100k, I retired my mom. I gave her half. We got pay cut and it ended up like $60k and $30k I gave to my mom to quit a job. Apart from that, I asked Atlantic if they could pay for the first class flight and they told me no. Not a private jet or something. Just a first class flight to Detroit. How much is that? $800? $700? Them n-ggas would not pay for my first class flight so I said ‘Dhruv, we gotta get the f–k off this label bro.’ They did not give a f–k I was doing a video with Em.”

The official video of “Lucky You,” directed by James Larese, was released on September 13, 2018. In the video, it follows Eminem and Lucas in combat vests and pants strolling throughout the ruins of a city. It includes wrecked cars and abandoned buildings. Throughout the video, multiple hooded men with black sweatshirts appear to be “copying” whatever the rappers are doing. This is supposed to be a shot at the new generation of rappers copying what the bigger artists are doing. One scene includes them performing random dances, which the hooded men copied. In the middle of Eminem’s verse, a gunshot from the original track goes off, sending the hooded men into the sky. The video ends with the two rappers walking away from the swarm.

“Lucky You” is one of the most successful singles for Joyner Lucas as it debut at No. 6 on US Billboard Hot 100 and entered into the Top 10 charts in 20 different countries. The song went triple platinum in the United States and platinum in the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia. The song was nominated at the 2019 Grammy Awards in the Best Rap Song category.

Grandmaster Caz shares his thoughts on Melle Mel’s Eminem diss

Grandmaster Caz has recently sat down with Sean Bigga on The Bigga Picture podcast where he shared his opinion on the recent controversy sparked by Melle Mel’s diss towards Eminem: “He did not consult with me as far as Eminem thing. I didn’t really ask him too much. He did not really never take it that serious. He was like ‘I bust Eminem’s a-s’ and I’m like ‘okay, you supposed to believe that.’ But as far as him actually doing the answer, I did not know he was going to respond to it. First of all, Em was responding to him. Mel was like ‘F–k, chill what, n-gga? That’s my opinion.’ And everybody else out here giving their opinions, saying whatever they wanna say, how the f–k you gonna tell Melle Mel he can’t sway what he wanna say? I backed him up on that.” said Grandmaster Caz.

Then he continued: “Now as far as response [laughs], I wish you would holla at me. I respect Melle Mel to the fullest. Lyrically, he’s the only person that I ever thought I had to be better than. Everybody else, I thought I was better than them. Like I said, I didn’t get the opportunity to see what he was going to do. It just came out. Even if I heard it, I could not say ‘nah, that’s whack’ but yeah, I probably would have. I would have to say that cause that’s my dude. I have no doubt that if he took his time and then come up with some s–t, n-ggas be like ‘Oh s–t!’ But he just did something real quick and put it out there and it was not flattering to him. You don’t respond to Eminem like that. Especially if you saying that you are going to bust his a-s.”

“If that was me, it would have been different. I’m not saying I’d bust Eminem’s a-s but I would went as hard as I could possibly go to get that n-gga. And then if he got me after that, yo, you got it! But I already respect Eminem as a lyricist. I wouldn’t even question him being nice or whether I’m better than him or not. There are a lot of n-ggas that’s better than me. You better be better than me motherf–ker! I drew you a blueprint. How the f–k you are not better than me, you’ve been hearing me ever since you started this s–t. You’ve been hearing everybody that I influenced ever since this s–t started. I’m about to be 64 years old and if I get on this mic and bust your a-s, you need your a-s whooped!”

“I think the apology was for the weak s–t that he did. Not for going at him. I think he was not apologizing for his opinion on Eminem. I think his opinion stays the same. He really believes that Em is touted the way he is because he’s a white rapper and that makes him even more accomplished at a black thing which hip-hop proposed to be. I’ve always accepted Em as a dope a-s f–king lyricist. His flows… If you can do something that I can’t do, n-gga, I applaud you.”

“MC Serch could not do what Eminem did. He’s dope but he just fits into the fabric. Em looked too white. They called him a w-gger because he was doing black things but he looked like a white person. Serch got his jewelry on. He got haircut like black people and s–t like that and white people didn’t want him. This n-gga right here [Eminem] is quintessential white hope for rap. All he gotta do is be good. He just excelled and was just more than good. He paid his dues in hip-hop. He is not industry plant. This n-gga comes from the street. He comes from Detroit. He comes from the circle of n-ggas who did this street s–t, mixtapes, all that s–t, he paid his dues.” Grandmaster Caz added. Watch the interview below:

Eminem trolls fans with new album announcement

During his visit on Jimmy Kimmel Live last month, Dr. Dre announced that Eminem is working on new album and it’s coming out this year: “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 Dre.

Next day, Eminem sent the fans into madness as the Detroit legend shared pictures of himself in the studio with Dr. Dre, Royce 5’9″, The Alchemist, Denaun Porter and his recent Shady Records signee, Ez Mil with the caption: “Nuthin 2 see here… plenty to hear!!!” 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 in Dr. Dre’s studio in California.

Today, on April Fools’ Day, Eminem pranked his fans with a fake album announcement. In the video that Slim Shady shared on Instagram, we can see the hundreds of screenshots of fans’ comments that are complaining about the new album, which led him to jokingly drop “Infinte 2”. “Drop the album grandpa” one screenshot says. Another says: “can you just drop an album and not merch?’. The video starts with the intro of “Crack A Bottle.” Then the narrator says: “The highly anticipated next studio album goes back to where it all started. Infinite. But now, it’s even more. Out today.” While the title track “Infinite” playing in the background.

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.

Amber Rose says she hit Eminem in DMs but Eminem didn’t reply

About a year ago, Amber Rose, Loaded Lux and Murda Mook joined DJ EFN and N.O.R.E. on Drink Champs to discuss their thoughts on loyalty and respect in relationships, their favorite rappers and Christmas memories. The group shared their thoughts on the importance of respecting and valuing women, and reflected on the challenges they have faced in their own relationships. They also discussed the power of lyricism in rap and share their favorite rappers. The episode took a heavier turn as the group spoke on the double standard of labeling men as “ho-s” versus women, the impact of s-xual violence on women and the struggles and challenges of growing up poor.

During Quicktime With Slime, DJ EFN asked the crew to choose between Busta Rhymes and Eminem, on which Amber Rose replied: “It’s very hard because Busta Rhymes put a lot in to entertainment business. It’s a tie. I was Eminem for Halloween. I’m making it a tie.

Murda Mook continued: “I will say Busta Rhymes. Eminem recently put me in his verse. Shout out to Em. He also said I was his favorite battle rapper but Busta changed my life so it’s Busta Rhymes all day.” From there, a little drunk Amber Rose continued: “Eminem, hit me back in the DMs! I hit him in the DMs he didn’t hit me back. Eminem, hit me back in the DMs!” Murda Mook also commented: “Em ain’t hit me back either. [laughs].” You can watch the full thing below:

Jesse Collins reveals few details about Eminem’s involvement in “Rhythm + Flow” season 2

Jesse Collins, the genius behind some of the biggest shows in hip-hop history, shares his groundbreaking journey with Sway In The Morning. From crafting unforgettable moments at the Super Bowl with Usher to celebrating 50 years of hip-hop and beyond, Jesse reveals the vision and hard work that goes into producing legendary events. He’s the man who erased color lines and elevated the game to new heights. At one point of the interview, Jesse Collins talked about “Rhythm + Flow” and Eminem‘s involvement in it.

“After season 1 we were going into season 2 and I remember we were in production for a week when Covid started and it was the beginning of Covid so it was like ‘oh, we are going home for two weeks.’ And then it went another two weeks and another two weeks and it was like ‘okay, we are done.’ And they shut it down for years and then it popped in France and then we just brought it back. It comes out in November.” said Jesse Collins.

Then he continued: “We had your guy. The rapper that you may have had something do do with. EMINEM! When he did the show, this incredible episode, and he’s talking about being in LA for the battle that he lost. And he was saying that he was getting evicted from an apartment and he really needed that money. So he went out and did that battle. And lost to someone I can’t remember the name. Somebody that had a lot of local affiliations. So, it didn’t matter how he did, he was going to win. So, Em lost and was not going to get that money. F–ked this whole thing and gave that tape. And that mixtape got through and got to Dre and whole thing and the rest is history.

During the conversations, Sway interrupted and said that rapper that defeated was Juice but Collins was obviously talking about Otherwize. Eminem talked about the battle on his Genius Annotation: “We had pressed up The Slim Shady EP and it was doing pretty well in Detroit. At some point, Wendy Day called me and said “I want you to be on the battle team. I got you a ticket to the Rap Olympics in LA.” said Eminem.

Then he continued: “I went to the Olympics, got all the way to the end, and then lost to the last guy. The guy who won was Otherwize, from LA. It was a local thing. They had a bunch of crowd support there. When I rapped, he went and hid behind a video screen. He walked away while I was rapping. I didn’t have anyone to battle! I’d never been in a situation like that before. I went through a lot of people to get through to the end, and then he walked away while I was rapping. I’m like, “What the f–k do I do?” I was devastated.

“I come off stage. I’m like, that’s it. It’s over for me. This kid from Interscope, Dean Geistlinger, walks over and he asks me for a copy of the CD. So I kind of just chuck it at him. It was The Slim Shady EP. We come back to Detroit, I have no f–king home, no idea what I’m gonna do. Then, a couple weeks later, we get a call. Marky Bass said, “Yo, we got a call from a doctor!”” Eminem added.

More than four years after Rhythm + Flow debuted on Netflix, the hip-hop music competition series is back with a second season featuring new judges, DJ Khaled, Ludacris and Latto. The streamer also announced Eminem as a special guest who will join the battles round “from a surprise location.” Additional music industry guests for the show, in which a panel of judges aim at discovering the next generation’s rap star, will be revealed at a later date.

Ebro & Nadeska debate new Eminem album

In this week’s episode of Rap Life Review on Apple Music, media personalities Nadeska, Lowkey, and Ebro dive into the hottest new music from Big Sean, Joyner Lucas, and more. The crew also dive into the highly debated “Big 3” conversation sparked by Future and Metro Boomin’s latest album, titled “We Don’t Trust You”. This then leads the conversation to Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s perpetuated beef and what this means for rap going forward. At one point of the interview, the trio briefly talked about Eminem‘s upcoming album, which was revealed by Dr. Dre last week.

Ebro Darden: Dr. Dre announced that Eminem and Snoop Dogg are working on the albums. I’m always looking for an Eminem album. He cares about rapping. I like to hear him rap. Whether or not I liked the albums and the cohesiveness of the albums or if there’s songs in there, you know, at this stage of his career could be a hit or miss. But if Eminem was like ‘I’m only working with like Alchemist, Havoc, Pete Rock, Premier. If I got Eminem album like that, y’all would not be excited to see album coming?!

Nadeska: I would like somebody to challenge Eminem to just have a little more fun and be a little bit less clinical with the raps. That’s coming from someone who has been long time fan of him. I think he is excellent and but he’s always rapping like he still has a lot to prove. I think there is nothing left to prove. I would love to hear him, like you said, pair up with one producer, have a different sound and it does not have to be as mind-bending. I also just want to see him have fun. I think that would be great.

Ebro Darden: Maybe his mind-bending, lyrical, spherical, medicinals is where he has fun at?!

Eminem’s “Fortnite Radio” album debuts on Billboard Vinyl Albums charts

About a week ago, legendary producer Dr. Dre, who has recently received a star on Hollywood Walk Of Fame, revealed that Eminem is working on a new album, which is slated to drop anytime this year. As fans around the world wait for that 12th solo studio album, the legendary Detroit rapper debuts a new full-length project “Fortnite Radio” on the Billboard charts this week.

Eminem debuts his new collection “Fortnite Radio” on two rankings published by Billboard this week. The set was made available on vinyl following the hip-hop powerhouse’s recent appearance in the online game platform, and fans were quick to snap up copies of the project, which is decidedly different from anything he’s shared before–at least when it comes to the method by which he shared it with the world.

Fortnite Radio launches highest on the Vinyl Albums chart. On that tally, Eminem’s latest opens at No. 8. It’s only his fourth career placement on the list. Eminem’s title scores the third-highest start of the week on the vinyl-only tally, coming in behind new releases from Kacey Musgraves (Deeper Well, No. 1) and Justin Timberlake (Everything I Thought It Was, No. 2). It’s also tied as his lowest-charting ever, but it still managed to enter the top 10.

Over on the Top Album Sales chart, Fortnite Radio doesn’t fare quite as well. The project debuts at No. 19 on the ranking of the most-purchased albums and EPs in the country. According to Luminate, the project opens with 3,705 copies sold.

“Fortnite Radio” vinyl includes all of the Eminem’s hits heard in the game on Fortnite radio. Check the tracklist and stream the album below:

TRACKLIST:
1. BERZERK
2. GODZILLA
3. HIGHER
4. LIGHTERS
5. NOT AFRAID
6. PHENOMENAL
7. SURVIVAL
8. THE MONSTER
9. VENOM
10. LUCKY YOU

Cassidy addresses rumors of ghostwriting for Benzino’s Eminem diss in a new song

Cassidy has just confirmed that he did not ghostwrite for any of Benzino’s diss tracks towards Eminem, “Vulturius” and “Rap Elvis” in a snippet of his new song titled “MIND CAPACITY” which he shared on Instagram on Monday (March 25, 2024).

The Philadelphia hip-hop artist and battle rapper addressed the rumors that he was the pen behind the punchlines with the following lines: “I ain’t ghostwrite Benzino diss, that’s bogus. In the past I ghostwrote for the writer that ghostwrote it.”

The former Source Magazine owner had previously denied that he had used a ghostwriter for “Rap Elvis” and “Vulturius” following online speculation. “I don’t wanna hear that ghostwriter s–t. This is Hip-Hop, bro. I don’t wanna hear that ghostwriter s–t. Shut the f–k up, bro. You mad because I’m spitting. I wrote that s–t. Yes, my n-ggas handed me some bars but I spit that s–t!”

His comments came after a social media user suggested that Cassidy secretly wrote Benzino’s diss songs due to the similarities in their rhyme style. “Anyone with a good rap ear can hear the Same flow patterns, internal rhyme style & his flips on the same word is SOOO Cassidy. Cass either ghostwrote or Benzino just bit his whole style. Eminem Won.” One fan wrote on Twitter. But later it was revealed that the ghostwriter was Atlanta-based battle rapper who goes by the name of Nes Lee. He’s considered one of the sharpest battle rappers in the game right now. Check out Cassidy’s new song below:

Joyner Lucas names artists who are better than him

Couple of days ago, Joyner Lucas released his much anticipated album titled Not Now I’m Busy with features from Jelly Roll, Twista, NBA YoungBoy, Logic, Conway The Machine, the late legend DMX and more. To promote the album, the Worcester, Massachusetts-born rapper sat down with Sway In The Morning on Shade 45 where he talked about his new album, DMX influence, Big 3 convo and more. At one point of the interview, Joyner listed artists that he feels are better than him and there is no weakness to acknowledge it.

“I never really had a desire to be the king of anything. It’s just not my personality to be self-proclaimed to anything. I just kinda allow people place me where they wanna place me but that does not mean I’m not competitive. I just never really care to be like ‘I’M THE BEST, I’m THE KING. I’M THE BEST RAPPER IN THE WORLD.’ It’s all subjective.” said Joyner Lucas.

Then he continued: “A lot of people say you should want to be the best, you should say you are the best and nobody’s better than you. They think it’s weak to say somebody is better than you. I disagree with that. I don’t feel that at all. I feel like there are lots of artist that are better than me. Eminem is better than me. Drake is better than me. I don’t have a problem saying that. People might look at me as weak for saying that but that’s just how I feel.”

“I feel like certain artists are better than me. Do I feel like Drake is better storyteller record to me? F–k no! There’s no way. He can’t make “I’m Not Racist,” he can’t make “Ross Capicchioni,” he can’t make “Best For Me,” but he can make “God’s Plan,” I can’t make that s–t. He can make “Hotline Bling,” I can’t do that s–t. He can hop into all these different lanes and s–t and do all these “Controller.” He’s a hybrid for real. He can sing and s–t. I can’t sing. But I think he’s overall better than me. All these stats and all the things that he could do that I could not. Kendrick can get lyrically better than me. He get busy and I love that about Kendrick. So to answer your question, I don’t care about being the besI’m just a fan of other artists bro.” Joyner Lucas added.

HitsDailyDouble hints on a famous character return on new Eminem album

Iconic record producer and hip-hop artist Dr. Dre has been selected to receive the 2,775th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The Compton legend was honored on March 19 at 11:30 a.m. on 6840 Hollywood Boulevard, just in front of Jimmy Kimmel Studios. He received his star in the category of music recording. Fellow hip-hop icons Eminem, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent and Xzibit and music mogul Jimmy Iovine also joined emcee Big Boy, who was a speaker at the ceremony. They all headed to Jimmy Kimmel Live where Dr. Dre announced that new Eminem album is coming this year.

“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.

The next day, Eminem posted an album session picture of himself in the studio with Denaun Porter, Royce 5’9″, Dr. Dre, The Alchemist and the latest Shady Records signee, Ez Mil. In the caption, Em wrote: “Nuthin 2 see here… plenty to hear!!!”

HitsDailyDouble, a music company that features music industry news, counting sales numbers for Billboard and making innuendos, has recently hinted on Steve Berman returning as a character in a skit of new Eminem album. The last time Steve Berman appeared on a skit of Slim Shady’s album was 2009’s Relapse.

Newly tapped as vice chairman of Interscope Capitol Labels Group, the estimable, consummately menschy Steve Berman has brought his branding wizardry and state-of-the-art lever-pulling to huge projects by Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish and many more, and the latest chapter of his exemplary career finds his brief getting significantly bigger. As just one example of his amazing reach, Berm’s strong relationships with the NFL, Dre, Eminem and Snoop, among others, were integral to the Super Bowl hip-hop extravaganza.

Eminem’s new album might be closer than we think. Mr. Porter has recently answered a fan on Instagram who asked to name the date of new Slim Shady album. Em’s close friend, hypeman, producer and former member of D12 replied: “soon come.” Check the screenshot below:

DJ Whoo Kid also shared an Eminem and Dr. Dre picture on Instagram saying: “It’s going down for reals. can’t wait to hear this new @eminem album!! @drdre @eminem.” When Whoo Kid says something like that, he knows its coming out real soon.
