Eminem keeps tight-lipped about his upcoming ninth studio album. However, the rumor mill reveals some surprising speculations about the rapper and his upcoming craft. The rumors include the rapper still waiting for an inspiration and hires security to avoid leakage.

Eminem was seen in last month's Lollapalooza music fest in Argentina. His performances include his monster hits "White America," "Love the Way You Lie," and "Without Me." However, he was absent in the recently concluded Coachella festival in California, which started rumors that he could be focusing on his next album.

There are also rumors that Eminem might still be waiting for an inspiration for him to be able to write another batch of hit tracks. Apparently, he is known to write songs that contain subjects that need to be talked about and said.

According to other reports, the master rapper is still in the early stages of his album, having finished eight tracks already. Plus, it is rumored that he hired security personnel on the doors of the recording studio to make sure that no one can hear what he is working on, not even a whisper.

The album is possibly due late this year or early next year and it will be a huge collaboration with another famous rapper, 50 Cent. After the release of the much-awaited ninth album, Eminem is planning to go on a worldwide tour.

In other related news, "Detroit Vs. Everybody" rapper Royce da 5'9" shared in an interview with Hip Hop N' More of the raps he and Slim Shady made.

Royce da 5'9", who just recently released a new 17-track album titled "Layers," was asked about the possibility of working with Eminem just like their Bad Meets Evil days. He said that it's a possibility since they have a few songs lying around that they recorded some time back. However, he admitted that he is currently swamped with his other projects.

"If at some point me and Marshall end up back in the studio, and we sit next to each other and we got some time on our hands, I can definitely see it happening," he added.
