The yet-to-be named album [1] is the forthcoming third LP by the Detroit rap group D12. The album has a set release date of 4th quarter 2007 [2].
On March 16, 2007, Kuniva posted on a D12 forum that "we plan to go back in the studio in 2 weeks with Slim and knock this album out; We're trying to work with the schedule right now. 50 is dropping this year and so is Slim, so you know its gonna be crazy up at Shady this year! We're hoping 4th quarter though. We got set back last year because our focus wasn't there. We were just frustrated,angry, and depressed. I think our album was going into a real dark stage. I think even darker than Devils Night.(which is my favorite D12 album) You'll still hear some of that with the finished product."
In regards to the rumor flying around the internet that the album will be titled 'Natural Born Killers', Kuniva replied "whats up people! Just dropping in for a sec to clear some things up. That info about our album is false. Actually, we haven't came up with any title yet. But it certainly will not be NBKs. on the production side, we haven't worked with half the people that's listed there. Only Three 6 and Swizz Beats are true. we plan to go back in the studio in 2 weeks with Slim and knock this album out. Peace yall, and thanks for the support! "
Group member Kon Artis said that the Detroit rap group would indeed release another album, despite losing the man who brought them together to begin with, Proof. Papers reported that the particulars were still being worked out, but the group let it be known that they would not commence recording until fellow group member Swift, who was, at the time, serving a 93-day jail sentence for a probation violation relating to a previous impaired driving incident, was released. Recording began in June 2006.
The album will be released in conjuction to Eminem's upcoming album.
As far as Proof being present on the album, they plan to use pre-recorded verses by the late rapper. "We're just taking the record to the next level," Porter was quoted as saying. "We had some songs recorded already. We got a song called 'Holding Our Own' that we recorded and Proof is on that song."[3] Songs with artists Nate Dogg, Three 6 Mafia, Obie Trice and others have already been recorded; Mr. Porter will be executive producing the album.[4] Other producers include Eminem, Dr. Dre, Swizz Beatz and others.
The members of D12 believe that Proof would want them to move on, and so are doing so, but believe that they are without a doubt remembering him every step of the way, announcing on MTV hit show TRL that the entire CD would be dedicated to his memory. Bizarre was quoted as saying that he feels the new album is a bit more up-tempo and energetic, suggesting that while it is a dedication, the songs on there will not be overly emotional.[5] Most of them will include Proof.
A track has been released titled "Don't Hate" which features King Gordy. You can listen to it here. It is unknown if this track will be featured on the album.
