Eminem is to release a new album this year, Dr. Dre has confirmed.
The 59-year-old music producer has revealed the 51-year-old rapper is to drop his first studio album for four years – a follow up to 2020’s ‘Music to be Murdered By’ – and Dre admitted he has some songs on the record.
Speaking on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’, he said: “Let me explain something to you 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 OK for me to make that announcement right here on this show.
“I’ve got songs on it and it’s fire. I’m actually going to hear the entire album for the first time tomorrow.
“He holds his music close to his chest, so I haven’t heard everything. I haven’t even heard everything complete that I’ve done, but I’m gonna hear it, and he’s putting out an album this year.”
In January, Eminem teased he was working on new music.
Speaking on SiriusXM radio station ‘Shade 45’, he said of his own music plans: “I’m working on a little something.”
