It Sounds Like We Will Get Eminem’s Ninth Studio Album Very Soon

The newly bearded and usually reclusive Eminem has been very active on social media as of late. Marshall Mathers wished 50 Cent a very happy birthday where he revealed the one verse that Fiddy spit that was so incredibly tremendous that it almost made Em quit the rap game. A few weeks ago, Eminem posed with 2 Chainz.

Eminem’s recent resurgence on social media may mean that he is gearing up to hit us with a new album. More evidence of Eminem releasing his ninth studio album is an interview where it is leaked that Em is working on a new album right now. “The Defiant Ones” is a docu-series that examines the relationship between Dr. Dre and record executive Jimmy Iovine. Allen Hughes, the director of the show, provided some exciting news. Hughes gave an interview to Uproxx and revealed the following:

Dre still records. People don’t know this: Dre records every day. Literally, he’s in there recording songs every day. He’s like Picasso in that way. He’s always painting. Right now he’s producing, in the 11th hour, a track for Eminem’s latest album. So Dre’s still real active in music, you know? But I hear what you’re saying. It’s the truth.

Does the “in the 11th hour” mean that there is a deadline to get tracks done because the album is supposed to be released in the near future? Or could it be the name of the track, but it isn’t written in a way to imply that it is.

We haven’t had new Eminem since 2013’s The Marshall Mathers LP 2, so let’s hope that we get a new album in 2017.
