Eminem fans have been anxiously waiting for more details surrounding the superstar rapper's new album rumored to drop sometime this year. Despite rumors that Slim Shady would release a new record on July 2, the date has come and gone, proving the speculation was nothing more than wishful thinking.
Fortunately, as die-hard Shady supporters keep their fingers crossed in hopes that he will debut some fresh tunes by this fall, there's a chance that he'll 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 Grammy Award-winning rapper 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."
Although the 40-year-old hip-hop artist has not confirmed a release date for his new LP, he has been busy in the studio working with artists like Big Sean, Chris Rock and Kendrick Lamar.
Earlier this year, Shady president Paul Rosenberg also hinted that the rapper's album may be released after the European tour.
"We fully expect to be releasing a new Eminem album in 2013. He's been working on it for some time," Rosenberg told Billboard during an interview in February. "It's safe to say that it will be post-Memorial Day at some point, but we're not exactly sure when. We've got some dates locked in for him to perform live in Europe in August, so we're trying to see what else lines up."
Eminem's fans will also get to see the rap icon perform along with Kendrick Lamar and Tyler, The Creator during his mini-tour in Europe which kicks off Aug. 15. Here's where he's scheduled to play:
