UPDATE: Interscope has a cool visual to the huge sneak-attack Internet smash.

From mid to late November Hip Hop fans were treated to a lot of big songs from Eminem. A couple songs from the reunited Eminem and Royce Da 5’9″, a collaboration with T.I. and two more with Lloyd Banks. The biggest of the bunch, in fact the most listened to song on DX in the past 6 months, was Dr. Dre and Eminem’s “I Need A Doctor .”

There has been some speculation as to what album the Alex Da Kid-produced song will appear on, but it appears that it will be released officially soon. According to HipHop-N-More the song will impact radio on February 1.

Days before this track leaked Alex Da Kid speculated that we would have a new Eminem album before Christmas, presumably a companion album like Relapse: Refill. While that obviously didn’t happen before the New Year, and those types of projects are usually tailor made for the holidays, there is still a chance this song could be for an Eminem project rather than Detox.

UPDATE: The posted cover art has been officially released, via Amazon.com.
