Details surrounding Eminem's highly-anticipated 2013 album still remain a total mystery... but if fans want ANY sort of hints, Shady's current hype-man Mr. Porter is the guy to go to on Twitter. According to the former D12 rapper, Eminem will release his eighth studio record soon, but fans need to calm down because art can't be rushed! But how about the unknown album name? Is it NiNE... does that even make sense? Read on for more deets!

So, check this out...

@MrPorter2012: "Yes its called NiNE RT @ryngraham: @MrPorter2012 Can u at least Tell us the name of the album? (Posted on July 17).

Is Mr. Porter referring to Shady's new album? Maybe, maybe not...

It coulb be that Mr Porter's talking about his own upcoming album:

But as you can see, Mr. Porter allegedly deemed his solo project "The Memo," so that doesn't make sense either:

But, as Mstars previously reported:

Everyday, Slim Shady fans are avidly tweeting about Eminem's highly-anticipated new album... which is supposed to get slapped with a 2013 release date sometime soon. Most of the Twitter buzz surrounding Em's new music is just hearsay... including the alleged name of the upcoming record, "Redemption." A very Slim Shady-esque album cover photo recently went viral on the web... it's probably fake, but still pretty cool:

As one Twitter fan puts it:

@TibaTime: "I don't think it's real, but if this is the name of Eminem's new album I'm gonna have even higher expectations."

"Redemption" goes along with the theme of Shady's two previous albums - 2009's "Relapse" and 2010's "Recovery."

"Redemption" sort of makes more sense over "NiNE." Ah, so confusing!

Mr. Porter handles several other hip-hop artists, so he really could be talking about something else entirely...

What do fans think?

Meanwhile, rumors suggest Shady might start dropping some fresh rap beats in August, although the album's official release date still remains on the DL:
