It’s been a while since Eminem last released an album (four years since Encore, believe it or not), but he is reportedly back in the studio working on his upcoming release.  Bishop Lamont, another rapper who worked with Dr. Dre (like Eminem) had this to say: ”Em is excited.  He’s been quiet too long, and he’s got a lot to get off his chest.”  In 2006 a close friend of Eminem’s, rapper Proof, was killed.  It left Eminem heartbroken and devestated, according to friends and relatives.  Many believe this struggle he has gone through will come out in his music, much like his other work.  ”He went through what he had to go through, and now he’s been able to take all the pain and stress and put it out in his music,” Bishop Lamont said.
