Eminem gave fans a nice surprise in Manhattan early this morning, as his album drops today:

"Call me Tiger, my wood's been everywhere," rapped D.N.A., a fervent Queens MC, at the opening night of Eminem's battle series EmSee: The Road to 8 Mile last night at New York's Bowery Ballroom. The event was billed as a showcase for up-and-coming talent, but the poorly kept secret was that Slim Shady himself was in the house for a surprise set the same day his 17-track Recovery — the follow-up to 2009's Relapse, his first album after five years of depression, drug addiction and being slumped at rock bottom — hit stores.
