Relapse is the sixth studio album by the American rapper Eminem. It was released on May 15, 2009, through Shady Records, Goliath Artists, Aftermath Entertainment, WEB Entertainment, and Interscope Records. It was Eminem's first studio album after a hiatus following Encore, due to writer's block and an addiction to prescription sleeping medication. Eminem's mentor Dr. Dre produced every track except for "Beautiful", which Eminem produced himself. Guest appearances include Dr. Dre and 50 Cent; a reissue, released on December 21, adds Drake, Kanye West, and Lil Wayne. Relapse is a horrorcore album about drug rehabilitation and relapse. It features the return of Eminem's Slim Shady alter ego, and Eminem described it as reminiscent of The Slim Shady LP and The Marshall Mathers LP. The concept album features Eminem as a serial killer using various accents, and includes skits with performances from Dominic West, Paul Rosenberg, and Angela Yee, among others. Relapse was promoted with five singles: "Crack a Bottle", "We Made You", "3 a.m.", "Old Time's Sake", and "Beautiful".
