50 Cent confirmed reports that Eminem is 'secretly' recording a new album.

Eminem has been spending recent years producing other artists and hasn't released an album since Encore in 2004.

During an interview with America's Blender magazine, 50 Cent admits he has been listening to some of Eminem's new tracks and is very impressed with his forthcoming fifth studio album.

50 Cent, says: "He's got a new album coming. He's not gonna tell people that, but he's making new music.

"I've heard a few songs, and it's hot. He won't tell nobody he's working on a new album, but I'll tell you: he's working on new music."

When asked if the new material is angry or wacky, 50 Cent replies: "Both. The whole range. You know, Michael Jordan was supposed to play basketball. Floyd Mayweather was meant to box. And Eminem was meant to rap."
