Previously, Slim Shady's disciple, 50 Cent also hinted to the press that his mentor is indeed preparing to drop a new record. Speaking to Blender magazine, 50 said, "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. And once he locks into it, like, 'This is my favorite sh*t,' it's gonna come out. "
