Eminem has revealed that he is currently in the studio with long-time production partner Dr Dre.

The pair are recording new material, although Eminem declined to say whether it was for Dr Dre’s much-anticipated new album, ‘Detox’.

"I'm in the studio with Dre now, let's just say that,"Eminem told radio station Shade 45. "Pretty soon he's going to make a beat and I might rap on it."

He added: "Other than that I can neither confirm nor deny."

‘Detox’ is the long-delayed follow-up to Dr Dre’s 1999 album, ‘2001’. It was last scheduled to be released this year.

Meanwhile, Eminem said he was taking a break but did intend to release a third single from his recent album, ‘Recovery’.
