D12’s 2008 mixtape called Return Of The Dozen, Vol. 1 is now available on streaming services.
Return of the Dozen is the third mixtape by D12. It was released on May 21, 2008 under Shady Records and Interscope Records. This was their first project since the passing of the group’s leader Proof in 2006 and it was designed to get them back on their feet in preparation for new possible content. Eminem notably doesn’t appear on the tape at all, as he was busy recording his sixth solo studio album Relapse.
The tape includes guest appearances from Royce Da 5’9″, King Gordy, Willie The Kid, Marv Won among many others. It also includes tracks “We Back” and “Suicide” produced by Eminem and “Plead For Your Life” produced by Denaun Porter.
The album cover concept is very similar to the trailer of Eminem’s upcoming album “The Death Of Slim Shady,” which is dropping in the next 9 hours, so it can’t be a coincidence… You can stream the mixtape on Apple Music and Spotify below:
