Pop rebel Rita Ora may be readying her new album for release next year, yet is smartly keeping her name, face, and fashion in the spotlight ahead of “turn up” time.

As one of modern music’s longest-serving titans, Eminem has proven repeatedly that he can sell major units on the merit of his name alone.

However, for his eighth studio album, the ‘Marshall Mathers LP 2’, the Hip-Hop force has invited a number of major names to join him including Kendrick Lamar and Rihanna. As many will recall, Slim Shady’s pairing with the latter spawned global smash ‘Love The Way You Lie’ in 2010.

The “reveals” came in the form of the project’s official tracklist, which was unveiled moments ago by the rapper himself on his official website.

So what are you waiting for? Beyond singles ‘Berzerk’ and ‘Survival’, find out what Eminem will be serving up when ‘MMLP 2’ hits retail on November 5th after the jump…
