Eminem is workaholic, says Rapper Royce

Los Angeles, Aug 15 (IANS) Rapper Royce Da 5'9" calls Eminem a "work horse" and says he would not be surprised if the singer has already finished recording for his eighth solo album.

Eminem's real name is Marshall Mathers.

"Marshall is the type that never really stops recording, so when you get in the studio he's in the back room where the booth is and the door is locked," contactmusic.com quoted Royce as saying.

"Nobody's allowed back there, nobody ever knows what he's doing. All I know is that he's constantly working, so if he told me that he had an album ready right now, I would believe him because he's like a work horse. He works every day," he said.

Eminem has been working with Royce's band Slaughterhouse on their album "Welcome to: Our House", but he is now ready to focus fully on the follow-up to his 2010 record "Recovery".
