2010 Grammy Award Nominee:

Sixth studio album by Eminem, released on May 19, 2009 by Aftermath Entertainment, Shady Records and Interscope Records. The album marks Eminem's return to making music albums after a five-year hiatus following his 2004 album Encore, due to writer's block and an addiction to prescription sleeping medication. The album, among all of Eminem's albums, features the most production work by his mentor Dr. Dre, with Dre producing all but one song, "Beautiful," which was produced by Eminem himself.
Relapse is a concept album that revolves around horror, drug rehabilitation and relapse. A return of his Slim Shady alter ego, Eminem stated that the album's theme was more reminiscent of The Slim Shady LP (1999) and The Marshall Mathers LP (2000).
