Bio:
Born Marshall Bruce Mathers III on October 17, 1972, in Detroit, Michigan, Eminem rose from the gritty streets of 8 Mile to become one of hip-hop’s greatest. After a tough childhood marked by poverty and abuse, he broke through with The Slim Shady LP in 1999, produced by Dr. Dre, which went triple platinum and won a Grammy. His raw, provocative lyrics and alter egos like Slim Shady made albums like The Marshall Mathers LP (2000) and The Eminem Show (2002) global hits, selling millions and earning more Grammys. Tracks like “Lose Yourself,” a 2002 anthem from the 8 Mile soundtrack, hit number one and won an Oscar. As part of D12 and Bad Meets Evil (with Royce da 5’9”), he’s shown his versatility, while his 2020 album Music to Be Murdered By and its 2024 deluxe The Death of Slim Shady kept him relevant with hits like “Godzilla.” With over 220 million records sold worldwide and 2.5 million Instagram followers, Eminem’s sharp wordplay and raw storytelling continue to inspire, proving Detroit’s underdog can still run the rap game.
