Eminem is hard at work, finishing up his first new album since 2010's "Recovery." News of the album was first confirmed by Dr, Dre, who said Eminem, real name Marshall Mather's,was "finishing up" his new project.

When will the album release, though? A post on Aftermath Entertainment's Facebook page promised a big announcement was coming, and followed with another post that said a new album from Mather's was on the way, however neither postmentioned a release date.

Shady Records president Paul Rosenberg tells Billboard, "It's safe to say that it will be post-Memorial Day at some point,but we're not exactly sure when." Rumors say the album might drop on May 28, the day after Memorial Day, but there is no confirmation on that date, or any other. Mather's currently has concerts scheduled throughout Europe during the second half of August, with U.S. dates reportedly in the works. So, while itsounds like 2013 will definitely see new music from Eminem.

The release date is soon and closer to Memorial day. Eminem is now rumored to be releasing his new solo album July 2, 2013. Nobody at Aftermath, or Eminem himself has confirmed thedate to be true. Either way 2013 will be a big year for the "SlimShady" rapper.
The 'Slim Shady' rapper will kick off the summer leg of his tour August 15th in Kiewit-Hasselt, Belgium and continue through Europe, ending at the Reading and Leeds Festival (Great Britain, U.K.) on August 25th.

Tyler the Creator and Kendrick Lamar are rumored to be the opening act for Eminem's 2013 tour.

Eminem, 40, released a collaborative album called "Recovery"in 2010. It featured the hit singles "Not Afraid" and "Love the Way You Lie."
