October 25, 2006 - Just in time for the holidays, Eminem will drop Eminem Presents: The Re-Up, a compilation focused on new artists. While recognizable folks like Eminem, 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, D12, Obie Trice, and Akon are also featured on the album, it's main focus will be to shed some light on newcomers like Stat Quo, Ca$his, and Bobby Creekwater. The album features production from The Alchemist, who also compiled the album in true mixtape style.
The album, which initially began life as a street mixtape endeavor, complete with raw, unmixed tracks, has since been turned into an official album with more refined production values. "Instead of putting it out there rough and unfinished, I thought we should add some other new tracks, make it a real album, and put it in the record stores to give these new artists a real boost," says Eminem of his decision to release it. Each of the tracks included makes their official CD debut here, although both Stat Quo's "Billion Bucks," and Obie Trice's "Cry Now" (Remix), were recently released on mixtapes and to radio.
The first official single and video will be "You Don't Know" from Eminem, 50 Cent, Ca$his and Lloyd Banks.
