Eminem to Release New Album This Year

American rapper Eminem is working on a new album. 

Fresh off of his Hollywood Walk of Fame induction ceremony, Dr. Dre made his first late-night TV appearance in 30 years as a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, where he reunited with Snoop Dogg and 50 Cent and announced the forthcoming album.

At the close of Kimmel’s show, Dre, whose birth name is Andre Romelle Young, dropped the announcement about the record.

“Eminem is working on his own album, which is coming out this year. He said it was okay for me to make an announcement right here on the show,” said Dre, who has a production credit on some of the tracks. 

He added, “I’m actually going to get the entire album for the first time tomorrow… I haven’t even heard anything complete that I’ve done, but I’m going to hear it and he’s putting out an album in 2024.” 

This will be Eminem’s 12th studio album, following 2020’s "Music to Be Murdered By". That album debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart to become Eminem’s 10th consecutive album to achieve this feat. 

Dre brought the rapper to national attention by signing him to a major label deal and producing his 1998 breakout hit, “My Name Is” and two other tracks on the Detroit native’s debut record.
