Premium American satellite radio provider, Sirius, has announced a partnership with multi-platinum recording artist, Eminem, Shady Records and Interscope Records to create a cutting edge hip hop music and lifestyle channel for its satellite radio.

The new station will feature music from across the hip hop landscape, along
with programming specially created by leading artists and DJs. A weekly show
by Eminem’s DJ, Green Lantern, will spotlight the freshest mixes, while
specialty programs – hosted by Eminem and acts from Shady – will offer fans the opportunity to talk directly to their favourite artists.

Eminem, Interscope Records’ Chairman, Jimmy Iovine, and Shady Vice President/Eminem manager, Paul Rosenberg, will serve as co-executive producers.

Shady Records has quickly grown into one of the leading labels in urban music, featuring gold and platinum artists including 50 Cent, D-12, Obie Trice and Stat Quo, as well as the multi-platinum soundtrack to the film, ‘8 Mile’.

“Once upon a time, not too long ago, the feds wanted all my music off the air,” says Eminem. “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. 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.”
