Behold the alleged album cover for Eminem’s Relapse. I guess this means he’s serious about dropping an album this year, huh? Unfortunately, I don’t think Relapse album will be the blockbuster album Interscope is hoping for, seeing as all the college kids already emptied their wallets on Asleep in the Bread Aisle.

With no more concertgoers left to rip off, MF Doom is now keeping busy with a new album allegedly titled Born Like This, due on March 24 via Lex Records. No one knows whether Doom intends to rap on any of the songs or if Dr. Seuss will be filling in for the Masked One.
Everything from the album artwork to its tracklist has become a source of utter confusion. Oh, and did I mention that the title is Born Like This or Born Into This, depending on what day of the week it is?
Grab the hi-res cover art (above) and proceed for tracklist, mp3s, and two alternate covers.

When I first received my copy of P.O.S. Never Better album, I thought to myself, “What, exactly, am I supposed to do with a poster of that guy from Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?” Then someone from Rhymesayers sent me this video, which basically instructs you to rip the poster in shreds, reassemble it, and then set the whole thing on fire. Or something. It’s bad enough that you need a dictionary to fully absorb P.O.S.’ music, since he has a proclivity for big words like “cadaver” and “kettlebell,” now you’ll also need a sense of creativity and two hands to install the CD booklet.
I know you can’t see him behind the humongous smoke cloud, but that’s Slim Thug on the cover of his upcoming sophomore album, Boss of All Bosses. In stores March 24th, 2009, ladies!

Speaking of album covers, Akon has just unveiled the artwork for his upcoming 3rd album, Freedom. As you can see, he’s dressed sharply in a suit that rivals only his complexion for blackness. An incredibly blue sea has been photoshopped into the background probably to symbolize Akon’s journey to the United States where, after a brief stint as a car thief, he figured out how to turn tragedy into triumph, street songs into hit songs, and most importantly, chipmunk vocals into platinum plaques.
Freedom arrives on December 2, 2008.

Krispy and Al Millio lounging on a couch without a care in the world on the cover of their Interscope debut, Remind Me in 3 Days. It’s been great watching these guys go from virtual unknowns to one of the most buzzed about new acts in the game. I still remember getting reamed for comparing their sound to OutKast’s. What can I say? I knew the rest of the world would catch up someday.
Remind Me in 3 Days arrives on October 28.
