Eminem close to finishing new album

Eminem is putting the finishing touches on his first album in five years according to 50 cent.

50 Cent told HollyScoop.com that the rapper’s 'Relapse' project was “almost done”.

Eminem’s release is likely to come within weeks of albums by collaborators Dr Dre and 50 Cent himself.

The hip-hop star told the website that Eminem is “currently mixing” his album.

He added: “So it won’t be more than maybe two weeks before (the label) starts figuring out the scheduling of the release of his actual project.”

'Relapse' will be Eminem’s first album since 'Encore' in 2004.
