Today, Eminem shared the cover art for his eighth studio album, The Marshall Mathers LP 2, via Twitter.
Eminem held a contest on his Twitter account, saying that the first person to answer a trivia question correctly would get to see the album art before everyone else.

What street did me & Mr. Porter live on together in Detroit when we were working as cooks at Gilbert's Lodge? #MMLP2

One lucky fan got the answer right, and was first to see the art.

The album art for MMLP2 is below, which features a black and white shot of a house sitting amongst an overgrown yard.
The image is of Eminem’s former home, which was also featured on the original Marshall Mathers LP album cover.
The first picture seems to be from the same angle as the second, and we’re guessing that this is what Eminem’s home looks like today.

Earlier this month, Eminem released the first single from his upcoming album, called “Bererk.” He followed it up with an official music video, which featured big names like Rick Rubin, who produced the song; Kendrick Lamar, who gets a shout out during one of the verses; Kid Rock, who he’s worked with before; and Royce da 5’9″, Eminem’s Bad Meets Evil collaborator.
The Marshall Mather LP 2 has a release date of November 5, 2013. It is expected that at least one more song and music video will be released prior to that time.
