Joe Budden reveals that while the Slaughterhouse album is complete, it won't be coming out until Eminem's album cycle is through.

Slaughterhouse are getting ready to drop their follow-up to welcome to: Our House, and while the project is complete, the rap supergroup have no plans on releasing it until Eminem is done with his chart takeover. MTV spoke to Joe Budden about the crew's new record.

"We're not [releasing] nothing while Em is coming out," said Budden, laughing. "Let him go ahead and sell his 20 million records and then when he's finished, we'll roll out."

While Joe was well-aware Slaughterhouse wouldn't be competing with their Shady boss, he had nothing but confidence in the album.

"I'm really looking forward to the Slaughterhouse project, partly because this album will be very much like earlier Joe Budden albums," he said. "Very deep, very introspective and very personal. All of the guys really went in, took it to a different place and just dug much deeper this album, so I really can't wait for the release of this one to see how fans take to it."

The New York rapper, who has plans to release the Some Love Lost solo EP in the near future, explained the difference in approaches betweem recording a Slaughterhouse album, and his own work.

"[Those projects] are apples and oranges," he explained. "To go from Slaughterhouse where you have to contribute one verse and some thoughts, to having to construct an entire song on your own, it's just two different worlds, but I appreciate them both for what they both are."
