Eminem teases new music from GRIP & Westside Boogie.
We rarely see Eminem share something on his Social Media but today he took to his IG to tease some new music, not from him, but from two of his Shady Records Label Signees. Eminem posted a picture of his newest signee GRIP, who’s posing with Westside Boogie. It is also possible that the duo is working on a collab, along with the label boss.”👀what do these 2 Shady labelmates have cookin? 🔥,” he wrote in the caption, teasing a possible collaboration between the two rappers.
Last month, GRIP dropped his Shady Records debut album “I Died For This?” which also featured the label boss on the standout track “Walkthrough.” Westside Boogie is also prepping the release of his new album, a follow-up to his previous Shady Records album “Everything’s For Sale,” which also had a guest appearance from Marshall. Back in May, Boogie revealed that he played his new project to Eminem, who gave him a green light.
Eminem & Shady Records signed the East Atlanta GRIP a few months ago. “We all got excited about GRIP after we heard Snubnose,” Eminem explained. “It was really refreshing to hear a new artist so focused on making a conceptual project and it caught my attention. It’s definitely great when artists we sign connect with a larger audience, and 50 [Cent] is a perfect example of that,” Eminem says. “Obviously we want anyone who signs with Shady to succeed. But first and foremost we’ve always focused on the raw talent and ability of the artist as an MC. We’ve always been pretty clear on that being the main thing we look for: high level fundamental skills and mechanics are definitely the priority.”
Westside Boogie has been constantly working on his upcoming album, having already been to Detroit to show Eminem a sneak peek of his new material. In the case of GRIP, the Atlanta lyricist’s Shady Records debut “I Died For This?!” was only recently released, but he acknowledged that he was already working on another project. Whatever happens with this one, longstanding fans will be relieved to see Shady Records back in the game.
