Eminem “Relapse” & “Relapse 2″ Albums Set For Release In 2009

Mega-selling rapper Eminem will release not one, but two new albums later this year.
Relapse, the artist’s first LP in four years, is due from Interscope/Aftermath/Shady on May 19. The album’s first single, “Crack the Bottle,” is currently at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100. Em promises a second album, Relapse 2, is promised before the end of the year.
“A lot of people were expecting Relapse to drop last year,” said Eminem in a statement to Billboard on Thursday. “I was one of them. Then Dre and I went back in the studio in September for a few days, and that turned into six months. We were on such a roll; we wound up with a ton of new music produced by Dre.”
