Photos: Eminem Covers Latest Issue, Interview Magazine, Talks About Ninth Studio Album ‘Revival’ Release

American rapper, songwriter record producer and actor, Eminem, who turned 45 this year is gearing up to release his ninth studio album  “Revival”, and he is the lastest rapper to land on the cover of “Interview” Magazine.

In the interview, which was conducted by his longtime friend and supporter, Elton John via telephone, the American rapper spoke about his upcoming album, which is set to be released on the 15th of December.

“I’ve been working on it for over a year. You know how it is—you make songs, and as you make the new ones, the old ones get old and you throw them out. The album is called Revival. It’s a reflection of where I’m at right now, but also I feel like what I tried to do was diversify. I’ve tried to make a little something for everyone.”

Also speaking on Dr. Dre, his executive producer, longtime collaborator, and mentor, Eminem revealed that he’s inspired by the veteran producer.

“I studied Dre a lot. I don’t know if you’d call it a mantra or what, but he believed that if you never go away, it’s hard for someone to miss you. And I realize that some people see going away as, “Oh, he’s irrelevant now,” but I feel like if I don’t go away, I get sick of myself. It’s never been my thing to be in the spotlight all the time.”
