Eminem’s Relapse Release Date

PLUS! Second album this year

Eminem has released a statement saying that the much-anticipated Relapse album will now come out this May – and will be followed, before the end of the year, by another album called Relapse 2

"A lot of people were expecting Relapse to drop last year. I was one of them," said Eminem in today’s press release. "Then Dre and I went back in the studio in September for a few days, and that turned into six months. We were on such a roll; we wound up with a ton of new music produced by Dre. Putting out Relapse 2 will let everyone get all of the best stuff."

Relapse will be out on May 19th.
