Just Blaze Speaks On Working With Eminem

Tuesday, October 20 2009 10:05 AM EST | Posted by: YN | Posted in: Blog, Focus

Justin interrupts a terrible interview to let the world know that he is in fact cookin’ up some marvelous things with Marshall Mathers.

“Now that he’s put it out there, I am working with Eminem on his new album. We are working on Relapse 2 pretty heavily. As of yesterday, we’ve done about six or seven records. I go back in with him in a couple of weeks and do three or four more maybe. I’ve been quietly goin’ back forth from New York to Detroit the past two months. Just gettin’ a feel for it and gettin’ a feel for working with each other. He hasn’t worked with too many people outside his camp. I haven’t worked with him before. We got a good working relationship now. A good friendship now so the records is comin’ out good.”

My worlds have collided. Ha!
