Eminem Announces Recovery

Yesterday the rapper revealed on Twitter that he had scrapped plans for a sequel to Relapse- which he released last year.

 

Instead his seventh proper studio album will hit shops on June 22 this summer.

 

Previously Shady has mostly worked with Dr. Dre and his circle of producers but Recovery will feature a wide range of knob twiddlers.

 

Just Blaze (Jay-Z/ The Game/ Kanye West), DJ Khalil (50 Cent/ Clipse) and Boi 1da (Drake/ Lil Wayne/ Young Jeezy) have all contributed to the album.

 

A statement from Em said: “I had originally planned for Relapse 2 to come out last year. But as I kept recording and working with new producers, the idea of a sequel to Relapse started to make less and less sense to me, and I wanted to make a completely new album.

“The music on Recovery came out very different from Relapse, and I think it deserves its own title."

 

Unless this disc is delayed the rapper will have released two albums in two years (and bonus package ‘Refill’) after a five year break after Encore.

 

Eminem’s confirmed to play live at T In The Park in Scotland and Oxegen in Ireland this summer when he’s likely to play new Recovery material.
