Relapse: Refill is an EP by the rapper Eminem. After releasing Relapse on May 15, 2009, the record label also announced a second album by Eminem, then called Relapse 2 but later titled Recovery, which was to be released by the end of the year, but was dropped for his next studio album Recovery. Eminem explained that he and Dr. Dre had recorded a considerable amount of music and it allowed them to have enough material for a second album and thus, by releasing two albums, would allow listeners to have access to all of his music. While on the Never Say Never tour, fellow group members Swifty and Kuniva (D12) along with Royce Da 5'9" stopped by KISS 100FM for a live interview and spoke on Relapse. Royce stated that the album will be a game changer, and jokingly said he might have to push his own album back three years after Eminem drops his.[1] Kuniva added that D12 recorded many tracks for Relapse but wasn't sure if they would make the album or not.[1] Swifty then confirmed that Eminem would in fact be dropping two albums in 2009, Relapse 2 following Relapse.[1]Relapse was re-released on December 21, 2009, as Relapse: Refill, with seven bonus tracks, including the single "Forever" (originally on More Than a Game soundtrack) and "Taking My Ball" (released with DJ Hero), as well as five previously unreleased tracks. On its re-release, Eminem stated "I want to deliver more material for the fans this year like I originally planned. Hopefully these tracks on The Refill will tide the fans over until we put out Relapse 2 next year".[2]
