Eminem's Relapse...

Eminem is making one of the most anticipated albums this year and it looks like we could hear it soon. Recently, 50 Cent stated that Relapse is almost finished and there will be an announcement soon. 50 notes that the news was confirmed when he was recently in Detroit mixing his single "I Get It In."

The album is in the mixing phase right now and I am just wondering if we will hear the album next month? Appearances on this album are not totally clear at this time, but it looks like 50 is definitely going to be on the album. Dr. Dre of course will be on the album, as well as Jay-Z and T.I. It will be interesting to see who all will appear on the album once it's said and done.

Will Relapse impact the Billboard charts with a big bang? I believe that it will. Eminem has that universal appeal and usually sells a lot of records. The lead single to the album is unclear at this time. Some believe that it may be "Crack A Bottle," but since the track leaked, it's definitely not set in stone. Interestingly though, a mixed and final version of the track was recently released on January 6, 2009.

The next couple of week's will clearly be interesting. Hopefully, Eminem's album doesn't get pushed back until the end of the year. I've read some Dre interviews and it seems that he's been totally focused on Eminem's album; even putting it before his own. Dr. Dre even says that Eminem's album is reason why we haven't seen Detox thus far. That alone is a good sign that we will hear something from Slim Shady soon.
