Eminem fans have been anxiously awaiting more details surrounding the superstar rapper's new album rumored to drop sometime this year. Fortunately, as die-hard Slim Shady supporters keep their fingers crossed in hopes that he will debut some fresh tunes by the fall, there's a chance he'll perform some new tracks at the upcoming G-Shock 30th Anniversary Party.
According to Vibe, Eminem is set to grace the stage for G-Shock's "Shock The World" event in New York City Aug. 7, where the digital watch company will celebrate its milestone anniversary in a top secret location.
Shady will rock the mic for the second year in a row alongside DJ Mick Boogie and Shady Records artist Yelawolf. In addition, James Marsden, Jessica Stam and Brooklyn Nets center Brook Lopez will make appearances as guest speakers.
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 an unnamed source, adding that "Fans need to be patient... it'll be worth the wait," reports Enstarz.
Earlier this year, Shady president Paul Rosenberg hinted that the rapper's album may be released after his 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:
Aug. 15, 2013: Kempische Steenweg, Kiewit (Pukkelpop 2013)
