Eminem headed for another 'Relapse'

Eminem --who earlier this year dropped "Relapse," his first new studio set since 2004--is getting ready to offer a revamped version of the album next month, a move meant to tide fans over until next year's planned release of "Relapse 2."

Dubbed "Relapse: Refill," the updated collection will feature seven bonus tracks, including the single "Forever," featuring Drake, Kanye West and Lil Wayne (which first appeared on the "More Than A Game" soundtrack); "Taking My Ball" (previously found only on the "DJ Hero" video game); and previously unreleased tracks, according to Interscope Records.

"I want to deliver more material for the fans this year like I originally planned," Eminem said in a prepared statement. "Hopefully these tracks on The Refill will tide the fans over until we put out Relapse 2 next year."

Since releasing the original version of "Relapse," Eminem has been busy working on a follow-up.

"I got back in with Dre and then a few more producers, including Just Blaze, and went in a completely different direction, which made me start from scratch. The new tracks started to sound very different than the tracks I originally intended to be on 'Relapse 2,' but I still want the other stuff to be heard."

The original version of "Relapse" debuted atop The Billboard 200 chart after selling more than 618,000 copies during its first week in store. The set is currently the top-selling hip-hop album of the year, according to Interscope.
