There's good news for diehard Eminem fans who have been anxiously waiting for the superstar rapper to debut a new album, rumored to drop sometime this year.
No, details have not been confirmed regarding a release date or title for his new LP. And no, new Slim Shady tunes have not leaked over the Internet.
However, an exclusive track that Em recorded back in the 90's has emerged that exposes a rare and extremely raw taste of the Grammy Award-winning emcee.
The freestyle rap, titled "Biterphobia," dates back to 1995 when Em was still a part of the Soul Intent rap group and simply known as "M&M." It was featured on the group's demo "Soul Intent" and was released only on cassette tape on Feb. 25, 1995 via Mashin' Duck Records. The EP was never made available commercially.
One year after the group's release of their third self-titled EP, the hip-hop icon went on to pursue a solo career and released his debut solo album "Infinite" in 1996, reports MZStarz.com.
The track was published on Hip Hop DX Wednesday and went viral shortly thereafter. You can listen to it here.
But before you head over to Hip Hop DX, there's more good news.
There's a chance that Em will perform some of his new tracks at the upcoming G-Shock 30th Anniversary Party next month. The exclusive event is scheduled to take place on Aug. 7 in New York City where the digital watch company will celebrate its milestone anniversary in a top secret location, reports Enstarz.
According to inside sources, the multiple platinum artist is hoping to "tease" a bit of the album before its release. "He has a lot of dope tracks, but great music takes time," said the source, adding that "Fans need to be patient... it'll be worth the wait."
