Hip hop star, Eminem has just decided to expand the Shady brand to include Slaughterhouse and Yelawolf, in a move that may bring backpack rap back to the forefront of hip hop. In an interview with XXL, Em explains:
“Yelawolf and Slaughterhouse, it’s kinda phase two of Shady,” says Eminem. “It’s the new generation of Shady Records and as we’re trying to rebuild our label, it’s exciting for hip-hop and with all of these forces coming together and with what everybody’s capable of on the mic, it’s gonna be fun.”
