The report also points out that Eminem is busy with his philanthropy work, using his music and stardom to promote charity for underprivileged work. According to the report, Eminem's effort help these children attain proper education.

When the album does release, it is rumored to include at least one track that will play on the feud between Eminem and Drake.
