Eminem announced plans to reissue his recent album Relapse. Reworked version, titled Relapse: Refill, will feature five entirely new songs. It will also include composition Taking My Ball, earlier released as a track for DJ Hero videogame, and Eminem’s recent single Forever.

According to rapper’s words, he decided to release Relapse: Refill because he wanted to «tide fans over» for his upcoming album Relapse 2. «I want to deliver more material for the fans this year like I originally planned. Hopefully these tracks on the Refill will tide the fans over until we put out Relapse 2 next year», claimed Eminem.

Speaking about Relapse 2, he said: «I got back in with Dr Dre and then a few more producers, including Just Blaze, and went in a completely different direction which made me start from scratch. The new tracks started to sound very different than the tracks I originally intended to be on Relapse 2».

Relapse hit the stores in May, while Relapse: Refill is scheduled to be released next month.
