Dr. Dre has revealed that Eminem will return with a new album in 2024. While appearing on Jimmy Kimmel live! On Tuesday (March 19), Dre said Em gave his blessing to announce the big news.
“Eminem is working on his own album, which is coming out this year,” Dre said. “I actually talked to him and he said it was okay for me to make that announcement right here on this show. So he has an album coming out, I have songs on it and it's great.”
He continued: “In fact, tomorrow I will listen to the whole album for the first time. He keeps his music close to his chest, so I haven't heard it all. “I haven't even listened to everything he's done, but I'm going to listen to him and he's releasing an album this year.”
After Kimmel noted that Dre is very hands-on with any music he produces, Dre admitted, “There are things I have to mix that I've already done, but I get to listen to the album in its entirety.”
