Check Out One Of Hip Hop’s Rising Stars Kurty Durty. He Has Been Making A lot of Noise In The Industry.

Relapse  can be considered as   “Eminem’s” return to the music industry after a 5 year vacation , he became an uncontrollable addicted and suffered from writers block . The project was focused on certain topics as eminem still was overcoming his demons. ( He said Slim Shady was left in th closet for his Recovery record.)

A year later, however, much has changed, according to those close to the Detroit MC . Eminem released Recovery on Monday (June 21), the project shows how much he matured from when he first started . He collaborated with a bevy of producers (Just Blaze, DJ Khalil, Jim Jonsin, etc.) for Eminems first time in his career he collabs with (Pink, Rihanna), and rather than lead with a satirical first single, the first single off the album was “Not Afraid.”

We heard it from those who knows Eminem. He is all the way back .

“He’s back. He really brought it,” DJ Khalil, who produced most songs on the album , told MTV News. “Every song that he played me, it just seemed like he had so much to say since Relapse, and Relapse is just a moment in time for him, and now it’s just a different moment. Every record is where you’re at at that particular time. With him, I feel like he wanted to really express himself and really get out whatever feelings he had. He talks about being sober, and he’s been sober for over a year now, so he talked about that. He’s gone through a transformation. And I was at Staples Center, and I saw him perform last week at Activision’s E3 concert. I had goose bumps. He came out to ‘Won’t Back Down,’ and I thought, ‘Oh my God.’ It was powerful. It just seemed like his passion and everything is back.”

Khalil, who has worked under Dr. Dre for years, was recruited by Em’s camp to work on Recovery — he didn’t have to change the way he worked .

“There was no direction,” Khalil said. “He’s a fan. Eminem’s manager Paul Rosenberg and Em both called me, they said they’d been following me since the Slaughterhouse records, the Clipse/Kanye record and all the stuff that I’ve down with Kobe. They were into my production, and it’s different than everybody else’s, because it’s dense. There’s a lot of music going on. Even with ‘Won’t Back Down,’ he told me the track was beating him down. He had to scream to be able to rap over that track. They just wanted what I do.

“When I talked to them, they said I was a big part of the direction for the record,” the producer continued. “And for Eminem to say that, that’s amazing. That’s like the biggest compliment you can get.”
