Preview: Eminem's New Song

The reclusive hip-hop star returns with profane raps on this new Dr. Dre-produced cut.

While fans await the arrival Eminem's long-delayed fifth record, Relapse, the man born Marshall Mathers has been slowly leaking material that may appear on the forthcoming album. The latest: The Dr. Dre-produced "Number One," which has surfaced on DJ Big Mike and Neptune's 4th Quarter Pressure Part 2 mixtape.

"Number One" contains Eminem's trademark brand of clever wordplay and profane subject matter, but there's no confirmation from label Interscope that the song will appear on either Relapse or another long-awaited album, Dr. Dre's Detox.

Interscope head Jimmy Iovine recently told Billboard.com that progress on both records was being made: "Dre had to stop making his album to finish Eminem's album. Eminem hit a streak, and when a guy like Eminem gets on fire, you stop everything. Dre's going back in [the studio] in January to finish his album."
