After being featured
in The Source's Unsigned Hype column in '98, Eminem further
made his name by dropping verses on indie singles
by artists like Shabaam Sahdeeq and OldWorlDisorder. By the time
he released his "Just Don't Give a Fuck" 12" and Slim Shady
EP, Eminem was an underground sensation.

Eminem's solid reputation
as a lyricist earned him the respect of the powerful Dr. Dre, who
signed him to his Aftermath label. Eminem's debut on Aftermath,
The Slim Shady LP, hit No. 2 on the Billboard album charts
within weeks of its release thanks to the breakthrough success of
the single "My Name Is."
Eminem received
two awards at the 42nd Annual Grammys: Best Rap Solo Performance
for "My Name Is" and Best Rap Album for The Slim Shady LP.
He also records as one of the newer members of the New Jersey-based
Outsidaz crew.
Eminem's latest,
The Marshall Mathers LP, was released in May 2000.
