    Eminem's New Album Delayed Until Early 2009

    US rapper Eminem's new studio album is unlikely to be released until early next year, according to US media reports.

    It had been suggested that 'Relapse', the rapper's first album since 2004's 'Encore', would be released in December.

    However, an insider told the New York Post newspaper that Eminem is still finishing the project and a release this year was “50/50”.

    "Eminem has been through a lot. He is being a perfectionist and is completely obsessive-compulsive about this album,” they said.

    “There's a 50-50 chance it will be done by the end of this year - but most likely it'll be the first quarter of next year."

    Eminem confirmed details about the album, which has been produced by long term collaborator Dr Dre, last month

    Speaking about the album, the rapper said he hoped it would “remind people how I rap” but added he had no plans to tour.

    • Eminem is a lyrical master of honest, raw, reality. His music is an art form that reflects reality and its myriad of imperfections. While I don't always agree with his politics and actions, I salute his dedication to bring important issues to the attention of both his fans and critics and for not allowing the fear of social ostracism to in any way impinge on the beauty that is truth; pretty or not as it may be. I look forward with anticipation to the next installment of Eminem music hist
