Eminem After months of rumors, Eminem decided to announce his return to Hip Hop this week.

The MC revealed the title for his sixth album, "Relapse," Wednesday, during an on-air launch party for his book, "The Way I Am" via Orion Books.

While a release date has not been confirmed, Eminem has released a new track entitled "I'm Having A Relapse."

"There's a lot of album titles floating around that are fake albums titles," Eminem told Shade 45 hosts DJ Kayslay and Angela Yee on Sirius Satellite Radio.

Em's set is rumored to hit shelves before year's end. During the Shade 45 broadcast, 50 Cent hinted that "Relapse" may even arrive before his own new album, "Before I Self Destruct," due Dec. 9.

Eminem's last project, 2005's "Curtain Call: The Hits," has sold 2.9 million copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. His last studio album was 2004's "Encore," which has moved 5.1 million copies since its release.
