The track, entitled ‘Syllables’, is thought to be taken from the rapper-producer’s new album ‘Detox’.

The song, which also features Stat Quo and Ca$his, leaked online over Christmas and sees the rappers poke fun at bland lyricism in hip-hop.

“It is not about lyrics any more, it’s about a hot beat and a catchy hook,” Eminem can be heard saying.

Dr Dre is currently putting the finishing touches to his long-awaited follow-up to 1999’s ‘2001’.

In November, he released the Snoop Dogg-featuring single ‘Kush’. ‘Detox’ has yet to be given an official release date.
