Eminem will kick-off a mini-tour in Europe this August. Paul Rosenberg promises that new music is in the works and that fresh Slim Shady tunes will likely drop sometime after Memorial Day. Rumors suggest that Em might wait until protege Skylar Grey releases HER new album on July 9. Rap videos by Slim Shady "wannabe" Denace have since gone viral on the web, but such song "leaks" are NOT the real Eminem. The "Without Me" superstar has yet to comment on such "new album" rumors.
Kanye West's new album will also feature appearances by Chief Keef, Frank Ocean, John Legend, Travi$ Scott, and Tyler, the Creator among several others artists. Over the weekend, Yeezy CONFIRMED that the record will drop on June 18. Here's the official album cover:
