Grammy-winning rapper Eminem’s highly-anticipated new album might really be on deck. New reports claim the follow-up to 2013’s Marshall Mathers LP 2 is arriving in a few weeks.
According to a new report, the LP is expected to arrive next month.
Coincidentally, D12’s Mr. Porter recently admitted to joking about the LP’s completion.
Complex reached out to Denaun Porter, who said that his statement that Eminem was “done” with his new album was simply him joking with interneters who kept asking him about status of the long-awaited project. “They trolled the shit out of me the whole time,” he explained. “Anytime they come in there, they can expect to get trolled with any kind of question like that,” the producer said. “I’m never the person to give up that kind of information. I might say, ‘Hey, we’re working on it’ or ‘Hey, we’re close.’ But I’m never going to be the guy that gives up the information. But they can get trolled.” (Complex)
Back in August, buzz developed about the potential release date for Em’s next solo album.
Lucian Grainge’s UMG group (with 36.5% SPS marketshare YTD) is lined up to have a gigantic year-end. Our spies tell us to expect albums this fall from Eminem (Shady/Aftermath/Interscope) Taylor Swift (Big Machine) and Sam Smith (Capitol), three of Uni’s biggest stars, as the chart of expected upcoming releases below indicates.

Recently, film director Allen Hughes revealed Dr. Dre is quietly putting together Eminem’s next album.
“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.” (UPROXX)
