Get ready for the return of the king — or not.
A mysterious new Web site, kingmathers.com, appears to be a teaser for Detroit-bred hip-hop superstar Eminem’s new album, titled “King Mathers.”
“Guess who’s coming back?” the site reads, above a picture of Em fixing the brim of his cap. Below his picture is the title, followed by a message that reads, “The first new studio album in more than 2 years. Coming soon.”
And then, poof — after four seconds the screen goes blank, and re-routes visitors to a hip-hop message board.
Is the site legit? Not according to Eminem’s Interscope Records publicist, Dennis Dennehy, who said Tuesday “It’s not true” and called kingmathers.com “bogus.”
Regarding new material, Dennehy said, “there is no Eminem album on any release schedule.”
Still, for months Em has been rumored to be working on new material and eyeing a 2007 release date. Though the project has been hush-hush, 50 Cent and Eminem’s Shady Records signee, Ca$his, have both mentioned the project in interviews. Rumored collaborators include Dr. Dre, T.I. and Akon.
Even though Em has kept a decidedly low profile since the release of 2004’s “Encore,” new Eminem product has continued to hit store shelves. “Curtain Call — The Hits” was released in December 2005, and the compilation set “Eminem Presents: The Re-Up” hit stores late last year.

as the following article tends to prove it.
Although I really like the USA, most of you probably know my total dislike of President Bush. This time, however, he proved to be cooler than I ever thought he could be! I enjoyed this story and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did.

Jewlybonz comes up with an original style that is enhanced with some Southern accents.
In A Hustlaz Dream, enriched with some soft female vocals and a light reggae instrumental background, Jewlybonz is taking over, crowing himself as number One, lyrically stabbing with his sharp and offensive words. Jellybonz knows how to captivate his listeners and to heat up the atmosphere. A nice flow delivery also belongs to his main assets.
What You Like Ma is built on a dark instrumental background that is softened by some violin sounds. Again, Jewlybonz words pour out like torrential rain, powerfully overflooding his listeners ears. Feel the atmopshere of the hood and the overheated atmopshere of the club song. No doubt you will like it from the outlaw who makes his own rules.
Caesar starts with a powerful orchestral violin background that is followed by keyboard sounds. The song introduces you into a world in which power definitely matters. The song, that is originally dedicated to Caesar, the leader of the leaders, introduces you into the powerful mind of a man who rides for the hood.

Sometimes, in our busy daily life, we seem to fully forget about the warning signs of an overstressed body and mind. We may feel tired, unable to cope with the great amount of problems and the floods of demands from our external world.
We definitely need to watch out for the negative vibrations that are surrounding our mind and find an efficient way to get rid of them, because if we don’t, this negativity and feelings of anguish will totally eat us out. That’s why any of us should switch off the channel of stress-at least for a few hours.
No matter how huge your problems are, no matter how unsolvable your problems seem to be at the moment, please try to walk away from what is causing your mind to feel totally stressed out.
Grant yourself a true moment of peace. It could be a long walk through the City, sitting at one of those charming Cafes’ -possibly while listening to two gifted street musicians playing the guitar and some soft jazzy saxophone notes while driking a cup of coffee.
Make youself comfortable enough to feel in a chill out atmosphere…The French may call it art de vivre while the Germans may sum it up with the notion of Gemütlichkeit, no matter how you define that notion of comfort, let yourself live out the moment…breathe deeply and enjoy watching unknown people walking through the street.
Be at peace with yourself and the world.
While every day stress is killing you little by little and is making you feel depressed, a true moment of relaxation will make you feel better than ever and help you to overcome difficult life situation.
Life is too short…always remember to enjoy life and to break bad stressing habits!
