Eminem, the Detroit legend, pulled a prank on his fans by releasing a trailer for a new album on April Fools’ Day. The trailer, initially featuring the song “Crack A Bottle,” harked back to his overlooked debut album, Infinite, from 1996. The cinematic narrator proclaimed, “The highly-anticipated next studio album goes back to where it all started. Infinite but now it’s even more infinite. Out today.” However, fans need not lose hope as Dr. Dre confirmed that Eminem is indeed working on a new album, set to be released later this year. Dr. Dre shared the exciting news during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, revealing that he has contributed to the album and describing it as “fire.”
Eminem’s upcoming 12th studio album will follow his 2020 surprise release, Music to Be Murdered By, which debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 chart. The previous album featured collaborations with artists such as Ed Sheeran, Juice WRLD, Q-Tip, and Anderson .Paak. Fans can look forward to the new album, which is highly anticipated and eagerly awaited by Eminem’s dedicated fan base.
Despite the April Fools’ Day prank, Eminem’s announcement has generated significant excitement and anticipation among fans and the music community. As they eagerly await the release of his new album, the anticipation and speculation surrounding Eminem’s upcoming project continue to build.
