Mr. Em, fans began to speculate about plans for a new album. Unfortunately, the Detroit rapper had already shot down rumors of a new Eminem album for 2015 back in March. Eminem, however, will be putting out a new album, just not a rap album and not under the name Eminem. Earlier this week, a rep for the rapper revealed that his next project will be a rock album with his new band Detroit Riot (pronounced as DetRiot).

More than 18 years, eight studio albums and countless other projects later, Eminem has been solidified as part of the upper echelon of rap. It’s no surprise that he’d become tired of the genre and want to try his hand at something else.

Although rap-rock is its own genre, Eminem isn’t looking to blend the two. His rep clarified that it will be rock only and Eminem wouldn’t be providing any vocals to the project.

“Over the past few years, Eminem has been really focused on becoming a great bass player. With many of his songs having heavy bass, he was naturally drawn to the sound. When he isn’t working on Eminem projects, he spends hours practicing scales and taking pointers from his friends in the industry,” our source said. “He enjoys expressing himself through sound from time to time instead of having to come up with lyrics. In some ways it has become therapeutic for him.”

Eminem new band consists of little-known musicians from a handful of different metal bands from across the United States. Who exactly those members are hasn’t yet been revealed.

However, the source did say that the band will release its new material on Shady Records.

DetRiot’s new single “Rock Detroit” is now streaming exclusively on Itunes, and it’s just as explosive as the candy the band is named after.
