Eminem to release two albums

Eminem's record company says the mega-selling rapper will release not one, but two new albums this year.

Interscope Records said the Detroit star would release 'Relapse' on May 19, his first original studio album in more than four years.

The record company said Eminem was also working on a follow-up album, to be called 'Relapse 2', due out in the second half of the year.

In the statement, Eminem said he expected Relapse to be released last year, but he and producer Dr Dre went back in the studio in September for a few days and that turned into six months.
