Eminem, the rap titan known for his lyrical prowess and impactful albums, played a clever April Fools’ prank on his fans, teasing the release of a new album with a trailer that reminisced on his 1996 debut, Infinite. The trailer, released on April 1, began with the tune of “Crack A Bottle” and showcased eager comments from fans awaiting his next project. It humorously promised a revisitation to Infinite, now dubbed “even more infinite,” leaving fans in a momentary frenzy until the prank was revealed.
Despite the playful hoax, there’s genuine news for Eminem enthusiasts. Dr. Dre, in a recent Jimmy Kimmel Live! appearance, confirmed that Eminem is indeed working on a new album set to release this year. Dre’s involvement in the project promises high-quality production and potentially groundbreaking tracks, raising anticipation among fans worldwide.
This upcoming album, Eminem’s 12th studio work, follows the successful 2020 surprise drop, Music to Be Murdered By, which featured a wide array of artists and debuted at the top of the Billboard 200. With Dre’s teasers hinting at another masterpiece, fans eagerly await the official announcement and release, hopeful for another classic addition to Eminem’s discography.
