EMINEM - EMINEM WORKING ON NEW ALBUM

EMINEM WORKING ON NEW ALBUM

US rapper Eminem is working on new material for an album which may be released before the end of the year, reports suggest.

The controversial artist has been on a break from the music industry since he released his 2004 album Encore, but claims he is back in the studio working on a sixth album.

"I'm concentrating on my own stuff right now - just banging out tracks," he explained.

"The more I keep producing, the better it seems I get. I start knowing stuff, learning the boards like the back of my hands."

A representative from Interscope records said that no official release date had been confirmed nor a first single but admitted that the album could find its way on the shelves before the end of the year.

Speaking to BBC Radio 1 recently, fellow collaborator 50 Cent said that fans will be "seeing [Eminem] shortly".

"He's working. I spent the weekend at his house. Even though he tries to relax and stay home, it's impossible for him to stay in," he added.
