People think they've worked out when Eminem's newest music is releasing and it's certainly not long away at all.
Earlier this year it was announced new music was on the horizon for the rapper, with Dr Dre actually confirming a new album was on the way.
In an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Dr Dre confirmed that Eminem was working on his twelfth album.

He said: “Eminem is working on his own album, which is coming out this year. He said it was okay for me to make an announcement right here on the show."
Dre also has a production credit on some of the tracks.
He continued: “I've got songs on it and it's fire. I’m actually going to get the entire album for the first time tomorrow.
"He holds his music close to his chest I haven’t even heard anything complete that I’ve done, but I’m going to hear it and he’s putting out an album in 2024.”
Since then, fans of the much-loved rapper have been trying to guess when the new album may release.
And in a video posted by the man himself on social media on Monday (20 May), we have been given the biggest indication yet.
The video appears with a short message that reads: "And for my last trick!" before being sent to all of Eminem's contacts.
The most interesting part of the video though is the date it's been sent on: 31 May.
While it doesn't exactly mean Eminem's newest music is coming on that particular Friday, fans seem to think it's a pretty obvious hint.
"This is it. Not gonna be able to eat, sleep, p**s or s**T. My whole existence consists of this," one person commented.
"May 31, single dropping for sure. Unless it’s a Kamikaze situation and he drops both a single and the album…" a second speculated while a third remarked: "I’m feeling a single and music video, not the full album quite yet. I really want a proper cover reveal and track list, don’t even have to drop features imo I just want the full experience this time."
Eminem's last album, Music to be Murdered By was released in 2020, and debuted at number one on the Billboard 100 chart.
It was the rapper's tenth consecutive album which managed to achieve this - showing what a true music icon he really is.
No matter when the new album does come, fans can't wait to get their hands on it.
