It has been a while since Eminem released his last album, and fans are starving for new music. And now a photo recently posted by Paul Rosenberg on Instagram seemed to be a hint for the release date of his much-anticipated music. Sporting a red cap, gold watch and white hoodie, the "Love the Way You Lie" rapper spreads his arm wide in the photo, and fans' attentions are focused on Em's raised palm.

If we take a closer look at the photo, it can be seen on the 44-year-old rapper's palm some letters which apparently read "April 9". Fans are thrilled with this little detail and assume that Eminem is going to release new music very soon. The photo seems to be taken at a convenience store, which is probably 7-Eleven as the caption reads, "It's been a long time... #7elevenseries."

The caption, of course, fuels the speculation as it has been a long time since Eminem released his latest project, "The Marshall Mathers LP 2", in 2013. But it could also refer to 7-Eleven flicks which Paul has posted throughout the years on Instagram. Prior to this, the rapper's longtime manager has posted photos of Eminem in the convenience store making nachos and getting drinks from Big Gulp machine.

The intriguing photo now has more than a thousand comments from Eminem's fans who cannot wait for the "Rap God" hitmaker's comeback. A fan commented, "I hope I read it right, what's in your hand, I will wait for it, [Eminem]." Another fan gushed, "Lol, There is a date or lyrics on his hand. But can't really confirm either. I'm happy [Eminem] is in great spirits!"

Eminem's latest release is a song titled "Campaign Speech", which was unleashed on October 2016. Before the release, he wrote, "Don't worry. I'm working on a new album." Last February, he teamed up with Big Sean on single "No Favors" in which Em throws shade at President Donald Trump and media personality Ann Coulter.
