A new Eminem album may likely to hit the music world sooner than later after producer Denaun Porter recently hinted that the rapper's record was already finalized. Although there was no official word about it yet, many were thrilled and delighted by the news.

Last October, Marshall Mathers III announced on social media that a new album was in the works. After several months, he did not say anything or give further details as to when it will be released or what it will be about. Some of his fans and media outlets suggested that the long-awaited sixth studio record of the rapper may likely come out before 2017 ends.

To add more fuel to the fire, Eminem's longtime collaborator Porter stated that the hip-hop icon's new album was already done. When asked on Instagram live, shared on Facebook, regarding the current status of Mathers' upcoming record and if it is still in the works, Porter replied, "No, we are done. How about that?"

He went on to tease that the album is "amazeballs." Porter remained tight-lipped on other details during the livestream, but his comment about the album being "done" does not necessarily mean that it is ready for release.

Nevertheless, Complex crashed the hopes of the fans when it reached out to Porter to ask him what he meant by his recent statement. The outlet reported that the producer was only "trolling the trollers," since he had been repeatedly inquired about the release date of the highly-anticipated Eminem new album 2017.

He explained to the outlet, "They trolled the s*** out of me the whole time. Anytime they come in there, they can expect to get trolled with any kind of question like that. I'm never the person to give up that kind of information. I might say, 'Hey, we're working on it' or 'Hey, we're close.' But I'm never going to be the guy that gives up information. But they can get trolled."

It may be a great disappointment to Eminem's dedicated followers, but even producers definitely know how to troll the trollers. Hopefully, the album will be made available to the public in the near future and that it will be worth the wait.
