Eminem announces plans to release new album in 2013

According to Shady Records president Paul Rosenberg, iconic hip-hop star Eminem is planning to release the follow-up album to 2010's Recovery this year, sometime after Memorial Day.

Asked by Billboard, Rosenberg said "He's (Eminem) been working on it for some time. It's safe to say that it will be post-Memorial Day at some point, but we’re not exactly sure when. We've got some dates locked in for him to perform live in Europe in August, so we're trying to see what else lines up."

Eminem has a full year scheduled with the release of two albums from his labelmates, Yelawolf and 50 Cent. 50 Cent is scheduled to release his long delayed LP Street King Immortal, while Yelawolf's currently untitled follow-up to Radioactive is expected to be released in 2013.
