Eminem to Release New Mixtape

By: Yves Erwin Salomon

After releasing a greatest-hits set last fall titled Curtain Call, Eminem was unsure as to whether or not he would retire. Following the death of his best friend Proof last month, there was further speculation that Eminem might call it quits, but the rapper is back. MTV.com reports that Eminem has hooked up with DJ Whookid for a new mixtape called The Re-Up. Whookid said, "Em's s--t is gonna be ridiculous. I'm gonna make so much money, I don't know why I'm going on tour. The return of the Emster and the whole Shady going hard. Everybody is on point. Obie (Trice), Stat Quo, all their artists. It's gonna be more of a hungry Shady, back to the grind. Plus me and Alchemist are putting it together, so it will be ridiculous."

The mixtape deejay added, "It will be extra songs I'll bootleg on something else later. But the fact that Em is coming back, I'm just happy to be a part of that."

The Re-Up will be released later this week.
