Slim Shady In Studio With Black Hippy, Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q, Ab-Soul, Jay Rock [PHOTO]

There have been a number of rumors surrounding Eminem's new album in 2013. However, we can verify the following as a fact. Slim Shady was in studio with the Black Hippy collective (Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul, Jay Rock and Schoolboy Q) and we have the photo to prove it.

The photo shows the west coast rap upstarts chilling with Em in his Detroit studio. Kendrick Lamar is about to open for Eminem at a few European gigs, but we can all hope that Eminem saw the polished group of young lyricists and decided he needed to have that on his eighth studio album. (Fingers crossed, y'all).

In other Em news, a supposed tracklist for his upcoming album (which the tracklist leaker says is called "Famous") made its way online. The list is likely fake as all get out, as our own Danica Bellini has pointed out. But here's the video and tracklist in case you are curious.

2. The Mirror

3. Kim II (featuring Rihanna)

4. Free My Soul

The leaker also said that the album would drop in July, though its more likely to hit shelves in late summer, early fall.
