Eminem Attends Dr. Dre‘s Walk Of Fame Star Unveiling

Despite it being an April Fools’ joke, Dr. Dre recently confirmed that Eminem is working on a new project. He made the announcement while appearing on Live! With Jimmy Kimmel, last month. “Let me tell you something, let me explain something to you right now: Eminem is working on his own album which is coming out this year,” he said at the time. “And I actually talked to him and he told me it was okay for me to make that announcement right here on this show. So he has an album coming out, I’ve got songs on it and it’s fire. I’m actually gonna hear the entire album for the first time for tomorrow. And he holds his music close to his chest so I haven’t heard everything. I haven’t even heard everything complete that I’ve done, but I’m gonna hear it, and he’s putting out an album this year.”
