Eminem Granted Own Radio Channel
Call Eminem’s hit album “The Eminem Show” a prediction. The Detroit rapper will host a show on new hip-hop channel to be launched in September on Sirius Satellite Radio.
His Shady Records label will team up with Interscope and Sirius to create the channel, which will also feature shows from DJ Green Lantern and other Shady acts, according to reports.
“Once upon a time not too long ago, the Feds wanted all my music off the air,” he said in a statement. “Now we’ll be on Sirius 24 hours a day, playing the best hip-hop — not just from Shady Records, but from everywhere. We’ll deliver an uncut hip-hop radio station like never before.”
He will use the outlet as a way to play new material.
“I can’t wait to start dropping new material, exclusive tracks and uncensored hip-hop featuring me and everyone else, freely saying whatever the hell we want,” he said.
The channel will feature live broadcasts and interviews with artists.
