More on the Eminem “There Is No Relapse 2″ story. Em released the following statement today:

“I had originally planned for Relapse 2 to come out last year. But as I kept recording and working with new producers, the idea of a sequel to Relapse started to make less and less sense to me, and I wanted to make a completely new album. The music on Recovery came out very different from Relapse, and I think it deserves its own title.”

Production thus far includes Jim Jonsin, Just Blaze, Boi-1da and DJ Khalil.

That’s good. Rap album sequels usually are cursed anyway.
