Rapper Eminem, born Marshall Bruce Mathers III, won an Oscar for his work in the film 8 Mile in 2002.

His first commercial album was The Slim Shady LP.

After a recent stint in the hospital for pneumonia, Eminem announced that he is working on his sixth studio album.

Eminem called into New York radio station Hot 97 during a 50 Cent interview and confirmed he is hard at work on his first studio album in three years. He said, “I’m always working — I’m always in the studio. It feels good right now, the energy of the label. For a while, I didn’t want to go back to the studio … I went through some personal things. I’m coming out of those personal things [and] it feels good.” And though he jokingly said he’d release the new CD “tomorrow,” there is no official release date.
