Since 2013, fans have been waiting for the ninth studio album of Marshall Bruce Mathers III, who is professionally known as Eminem. Two days after his 44th birthday, the Detroit rapper took to Facebook to confirm that he is indeed working on a new album.
Neither the title nor the release date of Eminem's upcoming ninth studio album has been confirmed. His eighth studio album titled "The Marshall Mathers LP 2" was released by Aftermath Entertainment, Interscope Records and Shady Records, which the Detroit rapper founded in 1999 with his manager Paul Rosenberg.
Eminem announced the title of his eighth studio album during the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. It has yet to be seen if he is announcing the title of his ninth studio album during the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards.
The lead single of "The Marshall Mathers LP 2" is "Berzerk." "Survival" and "Rap God" were released following the release of the lead single.
"The Marshall Mathers LP 2" featured four collaboration songs. These are "A*****e" featuring Skylar Grey, "The Monster" featuring Rihanna, "Headlights" featuring Nate Ruess and "Love Game" featuring Kendrick Lamar.
Co-written by Eminem, Bebe Rexha and Jon Bellion, "The Monster" is the fourth collaboration song recorded by the "Rap God" rapper and Rihanna, who was spotted in Nobu New York on Oct. 18, Tuesday, having a late night dinner, Daily Mail reported. The first three are "Love the Way You Lie," "Love the Way You Lie (Part II)" and "Numb."
Meanwhile, Grey recently revealed how Eminem inspired her to pursue a career in rap music. She told Hip Hop DX that she sent the first rap song she wrote to Eminem, the one person she knew she could get great advice from and the rest is history.
