Eminem Confirms D12 Reunion, "We're Gonna Be Back"

PAP · 06-13-2009, 10:52 PM

D12 leader Eminem recently confirmed his rap group's upcoming reunion and said the Detroit-based team are headed back to the studio for an album.

In addition to the project, Em also spoke on the loss of D12 member Proof.

"Right now, my music would probably be the same [if Proof was still alive," Em explained in an interview. "I think this is what Proof always wanted, was for me to go crazy again. My life would be different because I would still have him. Me and the guys, we got a bond, it's special. It's like, as far as the future of D12, we're gonna be back in the studio soon." (Rap City Special)

D12's Bizarre spoke on the status of his rap group in an interview earlier this year.

"Everybody's in D12 and we're doing good," Bizarre told radio personality Jenny Boom Boom. "[A new album] is definitely going to happen. We're working on it right now, Marshall Mathers is coming out first with Relapse...I'm on Eminem's album...I'm recording a couple of songs. Big up to Dr. Dre." (Jenny Boom Boom TV)

The project would follow-up 2004's D12 World.

After a three-year wait, the group returned with D12 World, including guest appearances from Obie Trice and B Real. D12 was originally founded by members Bizarre and Proof around 1990, but the size and scope of the group expanded when Proof brought in childhood friend Eminem followed by Swift, Kon Artis, Bugz and Kuniva. (All Music)

Aside from D12, Em's Relapse will reportedly have reached the one million mark next week after a month in stores.

The sound you heard is the Black Eyed Peas landing at #1 on next week's HITS Album sales chart with a total anywhere between 190-215k for The E.N.D. Based on those same one-day sales reports, this week's chart-topper RCA's Dave Matthews Band and Interscope's dope rapper Eminem will have an old-fashioned street battle for #2, with both in the 115-125k range. Next highest debut will be Atlantic's Pleasure P at 35-40k, Sony Music Latin's Aventura (25-30k), Downtown's Mos Def (25-30k) and Stax/Concord Music Group's Teena Marie (15-20k). (Hits Daily Double)

No further information on the D12 album has been released as of today (June 13).

This shit was from RapCity interview.. He doesnt say anything special. Obviously D12 will be back but not anytime soon. Em still has Relapse 2 to come out. 50 has his album, Dre is "supposed" to come out with an album. I think D12 is at the end of the line. maybe mid 2010

I think D12 will drop next year. It all depended on Ems success, Relapse did very well, is right at a mill, closing in on 2 mill worldwide, will probably hit 3 mill worldwide and shit. Relapse 2 will probably do alittle less, but still go plat. So two plat albums in a year, thats good for the label, so with Em on board for it, really gonna be on most of the album, and be willing to tour for this album and do the promo, which now he is sober and in a better place, I think if they get a good album together, it could drop next year. Maybe even a Cashis album.

Deuce Six · 06-14-2009, 02:46 PM

Eminem is the leader of D12? Dude wasn't even on their last mixtape. I always thought it was Proof, and since he's dead Kon Artis.

El Scorpio · 06-14-2009, 03:14 PM

well it was really kinda obvious they'd be back and still no timeframe but good to hear something about them, it's been a while
