Eminem is currently working on his upcoming album, but that does not stop him from doing other music projects, including collaborations with other artists.

The rap god was part of rapper KXNG Crooked's new album, "Good vs. Evil," which was released on Nov. 11. Eminem was featured in the second track, "Welcome to Planet X," along with The Observer.

When the song debuted a week earlier, Nov. 4 to be exact, it quickly became one of the top hits for the week, which Hip Hop DX suggests translates to how fans cannot get enough of Eminem.

Prior to announcing his new album, Eminem also took part in Skylar Grey's latest album, "Natural Causes," where he produced and helped with the songwriting for the track, "Come Up for Air."

"Marshall gave me a lot of great feedback, so I rewrote the lyrics like three times, but I finally got to a place where we both really love it," Grey explained on her website.

"Lyrically, it's coming from a darker place. It's about loving somebody so much you'll wait your whole life for that person even if it means you die waiting. That's the power of real love. It can hurt," she went on to say.

As for Eminem's album himself, the "Stan" rapper has not spoken about the project ever since he announced it back in October and released a new track titled, "Campaign Speech," where he blasted the supporters of United States president-elect Donald Trump.

Don't worry I'm working on an album! Here's something meanwhile. Link in bio.

He released the song to help fans get by the wait for his new album. Eminem also did not provide a launch date or any other information about it, not even the title.

However, rumors and leaks quickly sprung pertaining to "Success" as the album title and collaborations with the likes of Adele and Chance the Rapper among others. These reports remain unfounded.

As for the release date of Eminem's highly anticipated album, rumor has it that it will arrive next year.
