He doesn’t have a release date, nor does he have an album title, but Em’s fourth major label release will be coming this year. When it does, 50 Cent is giving it the space it will need. “My advice to myself, and all others, is to let Em’s release date go by and, after that, we can all come out comfortably,” 50 told Inside Entertainment. “Nothing is safe when that time comes around. Em is dropping a bomb.”

He should know, he has heard a chunk of the album, “it’s very different,” he explained. “It’s still Em rapping, but the concepts and things he talks about are somewhere else. He has gone in another direction.”

Eminem has split the recording time between Detroit and Los Angeles. Aside from his own production, he will be working with Dr. Dre and early word is that Scott Storch and Hi-Tek are also lending their talents to the album.
