So … Kanye West just this week released his new album Yeezusjust a couple of days after Jay-Z announced to the world that he is releasing a new album titled Magna Carta Holy Grail early next month … which means that Ye and Jay have got the lock on the biggest rap music releases this year … right? Not necessarily. A minute and a half long snippet of a new song by Eminem titledSymphony in H has made its way to the Internets today. Click below to get your first listen of this portion of the new track and find out when we’ll be able to hear the song in full.

Shady’s back. Eminem has dropped his first new music in some years, releasing 90 seconds of a track called “Symphony In H.” The tune charters familiar territory for the 40-year-old Detroit rapper — it’s full of venom, vigour and some violent imagery. The snippet premiered on DJ Tony Touch’s Shade 45 show … The full song is expected to appear on Tony Touch’s upcoming mixtape, “The Piece Maker 3: Return of the 50 MCs, which is due July 9. Still, there’s no word on precisely when Eminem’s next album will arrive. In an interview with MTV last August, the artist admitted he had “just started” on a new album. In a Billboard exclusive earlier this year, Shady president Paul Rosenberg gave an update. Eminem, he said, was “far into the process” of recording his eighth studio album, which would arrive after “Memorial Day.” It’s been three years since Eminem released a solo album, 2010′s “Recovery.” That album peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and yielded the hit “Love the Way You Lie,” featuring Rihanna, which topped the Hot 100 for seven consecutive weeks. Along the way to “Recovery,” he’s earned six Billboard 200 No. 1s, four Hot 100 No. 1s and countless awards.
It’s quite possible that Em could come out of nowhere in the next couple of months and just drop a brand new album on us … which would mean that he would be going head to head to head with Kanye and Jay-Z for rap supremacy 2013. I’m still loving the hell out of Kanye‘s Yeezus album so it’s going to be tough to take my attention away … but I know that there are hordes of Eminem fans out there just waiting for his musical return. We’ll have to wait and see how long after Symphony in H is released on July 9 it will take for more newEminem music to invade the world. Hopefully sooner rather than later.
