Eminem's highly anticipated eighth studio album is shrouded in mystery, with many speculating on whether or not the alleged release date is indeed July 2, as there are currently no official reports. According to Mstars News, an unofficial tracklist for the album was recently "leaked," but a new Eminem song will officially be available July 9.
Titled "Symphony in H," the new Eminem track will be featured on the third installment of rapper/DJ/producer Tony Touch's "The Piece Maker" series, according to the album's official pre-order on Bandcamp. The new installment is entitled "PieceMaker 3: Return of the 50 MC's."
A fan on Youtube leaked the alleged tracklist for Eminem's upcoming album, allegedly titled "Famous," though most fans were immediately skeptical of the seemingly phony list. The likely faked tracklisting is as follows:
"1. The Return of Shady (intro.)
2. The Mirror
3. Kim II (featuring Rihanna)
4. Free My Soul
5. Big Proof (skit)
6. We Miss You (featuring D12)
7. Forgive Me
8. Shine Again
9. Paul (skit)
10. Best Rapper Alive
11. Claim my Spot (featuring 50 Cent, Dr. Dre)
12, Every Day
13. Bad Luck
14. Steve on Drugs (skit)
15. Legend (featuring Lil Wayne)
16. Hailie Jade
17. Promise
18. Dead and Gone
19. RIP Slim Shady (skit)
20. Murder Session (featuring Slaughterhouse, Yelawolf, D12, 50 Cent, Cashis, Obie Trice, Jay-Z)"
The list posted by mcjmusic8 on April 10 angered many fans, though it has garnered thousands of views on Youtube. When a fan asked the poster if the list was real, they wrote in response: "Yes a student of the new Interscope marketing company had leaked it...interview next week about the album & the leak."
"Em is finishing up his project," Dr Dre said to Power 106 back in March. "And for me, man, I've just gotten inspired again to go back into the studio." No official word from Eminem or his reps have confirmed a release date or an official tracklisting, despite several reports saying that the album will drop in July.
On June 5, a photo of Eminem in the studio with Royce Da 5'9", Mr. Porter, Top Dawg Entertainment artists Kendrick Lamar, Jay Rock, Schoolboy Q, and Ab-Soul ("Black Hippy") surfaced, posted to RapDose, and many fans believe Eminem and Black Hippy collaborated for the new album, though it has not yet been confirmed. Eminem's upcoming album is one of the most anticipated of the year.
