Eminem New Album 2013, Name and Release Date Rumors Spark Twitter Buzz: Fake 'Redemption' Album Cover PHOTO Goes Viral, Slim Shady New Music Leaks Soon?

Everyday, Slim Shady fans are avidly tweeting about Eminem's highly-anticipated new album... which is supposed to get slapped with a 2013 release date sometime soon. Most of the Twitter buzz surrounding Em's new music is just hearsay... including the alleged name of the upcoming record, "Redemption." A very Slim Shady-esque album cover photo recently went viral on the web... it's probably fake, but still pretty cool. Who knows at this point, right?

Check out this rather awesome "Redemption" cover photo:

As one Twitter fan puts it:

@TibaTime: "I don't think it's real, but if this is the name of Eminem's new album I'm gonna have even higher expectations."

Do fans dig it?
