Rapper Eminem is going to release a deluxe version of his Relapse album. The album, which will be titled Relapse: Refill, will include the whole Relapse album and an additional 7 Eminem tracks.

Two tracks have been confirmed for the re-release so far. “Forever” (With Drake, Kanye West, and Lil Wayne) and “Taking My Ball.”

The new album will be released to fill the gap between Relapse and Relapse 2, which Eminem himself promised would be out at the end of this year. Now we can expect Relapse 2 to come out sometime next year, if it comes out at all.

“I want to deliver more material for the fans this year like I originally planned” Eminem says. “Hopefully these tracks on ‘The Refill’ will tide the fans over until we put out ‘Relapse 2′ next year.”

Relapse: Refill is scheduled to be released in stores on December 22nd.

State Property‘s own Freeway has announced plans to release a new mixtape called Freelapse, which he says will pay homage and tribute to Eminem and his recent Relapse album. According to Freeway, the motivation to make the project that is based off Eminem, came from a freestyle by Slim Shady himself. “I’m dropping the ‘Freelapse‘ it’s a tribute to Eminem using all of his beats,” Free explained in an new interview.

“What happened was Em did a freestyle and he was like ‘I disappeared I was hiding in Freeways beard,’ so I sampled that, made it a hook, and used it for a song. After that, I came up with the idea. Eminem is a talented emcee, he’s got a lot of hot beats, and another artist would probably be scared to rap to his beats because he’s murdered every beat. So I felt that it was a challenge for me to try to live up to the expectation.”
