Eminem Turns 'Re-Up' Into Album, Shoots Down Proof Tribute Rumors
Rapper Eminem will introduce new music from Stat Quo, Ca$his and Bobby Creekwater on an upcoming album Eminem Presents: The Re-Up.
"So much wrong information has gotten out," Eminem said about reports of the project. "It's time to set the record straight."
According to the multi-platinum rapper, the project started off as a mixtape, but has since blossomed into a full-fledged album, to be released on his Shady Records imprint.
"Instead of putting it out there rough and unfinished, I thought we should add some other new tracks, make it a real album, and put it in the record stores to give these new artists a real boost," Eminem explained.
Eminem, who executive produced the album, also produced most of the songs contained on the album. Production was rounded out by Shady's newest producer, The Alchemist.
The first single and video from the new album is "You Don't Know," which features Shady's Ca$his and Eminem and G-Unit's 50 Cent and Lloyd Banks.
The rapper shot down tracklistings and reports that have appeared on the internet claiming that the mixtape was a tribute to slain D12 member Proof.
"The D12 album and those unreleased songs with Proof are coming," Eminem stated. "But The Re-Up is about these new artists and these new songs. It isn't fair to them or to the memory of Proof to mix them up."
