Along with the two albums that Eminem is releasing this year, he reportedly stated on BET’s “Rap City : The Relapse” that he is planning to get into the studio to work on the first album from D-12 in 5 years. It is also their first album since the death of group member “Proof” which occurred three years ago.

Eminem said his death caused him to go into depression and drug use. He stated, “Me and the guys, we got a bond, it’s special. It’s like, as far as the future of D12, we’re gonna be back in the studio soon.” The rest of the D-12 group includes : Bizarre, Kon Artis, Kuniva and Swifty .

Eminem said part of his reason for him and the group to release a third album was because of his respect and love for Proof who was his best friend and biggest supporter ever since he started out. Em also stated, “Right now, my music would probably be the same if Proof was still alive.I think this is what Proof always wanted, was for me to go crazy again. My life would be different because I would still have him.”

I remember that song they released five years ago called “My Band”. It was great. I loved it.
