Eminem should definitely be releasing his eight full-length out in 2013, according to Shady Records president Paul Rosenberg.

Speaking with Billboard, the exec said the drop isn't imminent, and will be some time after Memorial Day (which is May 27).

"We fully expect to be releasing a new Eminem album in 2013. He’s been working on it for some time," Rosenberg tells Billboard, who was included on this year’s Billboard Power 100 list. "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."

Em's last set was with Royce da 5'9" for Bad Meets Evil in 2011. "Relapse" in 2009 was his previous solo set, and it sold more than 600,000 copies in its first week of sale.

Also on Shady's slate is a new Yelawolf and 50 Cent's oft-delayed "Street King Immortal."

Eminem helped produce Skylar Grey's forthcoming full-length, as well as guested on her single "Let Me Ride." So there's that to tide you over.

No new album name has been announced, though Slim Shady will definitely be reuniting with Dr. Dre.

Code-Red

Relapse only had Dr. Dre and 50 cent on it
In Refill technically Kanye, Wayne and Drake were featured but I'm not sure if Forever was intended to be a single for it. Its just that being Eminem embarrassed everyone on there that the song became his. I'm really excited for his next album though because I found Recovery to be a complaining album, him giving Lil Wayne a spot on it killed the hype for me alone but I still think the album was great, could've been better but great.

Eminem needs to stop rapping. I LOVE OLD Em...not this new garbo. He lacks a flow and lyrical direction anymore. Pretty much anyone who even says he's still nasty now needs to hop off of his sack and actually listen to the content of his recent nonsense. He now IS what he once stood AGAINST. He is a living, breathing contridiction...

- mg you are dumb dude read his lyrics bro. You know nothing about hip hop and I do he sell's album's what you do.
  March 17, 2013 at 8:22AM EST
- Rook421 I think it's where he's out of the rap battle scene you can tell its not in his rap anymore he's still a lyrical genius in my opinion but nothing will ever sound close to the slim shady lp again that's still my favorite record that's why I like to look up eminem cyphers he writes differant for cyphers than for records just sayin

- BobbyDigitalRD @MG First of all...to just flat out say I'm wrong and that's that is so far beyond an ignorant statement it makes me sick. Everybody has an opinion (including you) so get used to it. Second of all I do listen to lyrics because I write lyrics myself. Em as of lately is in it to please his own desire to rhyme. There's a really big difference between someone who can rhyme with dumbed-down punches compared to an actual rapper with actual substance. He has been stuck on the same cadence and wack delivery since the Recovery, which was so called "greatness". This new Eminem just lacks what made him a great rapper in the first place, HUNGER. He was far more inventive and had way better delivery than he does now. Content has everything to do with greatness and Em just doesn't have it anymore. Try to tell me his new joint with 50 has content. "Or should I say some spa-get even"? Just a lame punch for the lame brained youth satisfied with sub-par performances. Do yourself a favor and pop on The Marshall Mathers LP...that is greatness my friend.

- Hiiipower204 actually you should check out the bad meets evil LP i guarantee you'll retract that statement.

the minute you call relapse shit you're automatically saying that you dont understand who eminem is, his only concern is technical aspect of rap,not bullshit hooks or music videos, thats why he's the greatest ever, because thats what raps was all about back in the day. So bacially shut your mouth you ignorant fool.

- BobbyDigitalRD You know what, I totally agree that Relapse was an excellent album. Em was back to his roots but yet had so much innovation throughout the album it was unbelievable. Recovery on the other hand...eh. Not even close in comparison. In my eyes Recovery was a failure on Em's part because it strayed in a new direction and not for the good. He's too concerned with trying to please MODERN DAY RAP listeners, like he completely forgot about fans who helped him be as big as he is. I'm sorry but the day that Lil Wayne is the top dog and other rappers feel that's the bs they should try to emulate is and was the day that real rap died. Rappers nowadays lack content and just spew as many punchlines as they can think of in one sitting and call it a verse. After I hear a verse I want to be able to pull a core message out of that song that has meaning, not just meaningless bars with a hook that tries to tie irrelevant verses together. Em now falls under the catagory of a nowaday rapper and it is sickening to know that he HAS the actual talent to convey real messages but chooses not to.

@ Hiiipower204 I have listened to Bad Meets Evil and I still stand by my statement. Where as I do find it to be an improvement over Recovery, he was out shined by Royce badly. His verses on "A Kiss" were the best imo.

@Inside270 I'm probably going to buy the album too. I want to hear Em break the chain of whackness that binds him so hopefully he can deliver. I just feel that it's most likely going to be another Recovery-style album and that is what I'm scared of. Only time will tell us if Em can provide more than this mediokre crap he's given us lately...
