In a recent interview with Billboard, Shady Records boss Paul Rosenberg spoke on Eminem’s next LP, as well as future plans for the label.

“We fully expect to be releasing a new Eminem album in 2013. He’s been working on it for some time,” Rosenberg told Billboard. “It’s safe to say that it will be post-Memorial Day at some point, but we’re not exactly sure when. We’ve got some dates locked in for him to perform live in Europe in August, so we’re trying to see what else lines up.”

Also on deck are Yelawolf’s sophomore album, which he just started work on Nashville, TN, as well as 50 Cent’s overdue Street King Immortal LP. Slaughterhouse members Royce Da 5’9, Crooked I, Joell Ortiz and Joe Budden will each release solo projects – Budden’s No Love Lost just dropped last week – which will be followed by the group reuniting for their sophomore LP as a group for Shady Records.

Big Paul Rosenberg, high profile rap manager to Eminem, celebrated his 40th birthday in New York over the weekend. Showing his age, he invited EPMD, Nas, Rakim, Craig G, Dana Dane, and others to perform. Jon Shecter proceeded to tell me all about it at Surrender on Friday with every jealously-inducing detail.
