Westside Boogie played his new album for Eminem. Em Responds.
Around a month ago, Westside Boogie revealed that he’s going to play his new album to Eminem in Detroit and since then there were no real updates regarding the new project. But today the Compton rapper shares a picture with Shady Records’ boss and said that he got a green light to release the new album.
Boogie is recognized for infusing his songs with real-life situations. Thirst 48, his debut mixtape, was published on June 24, 2014, and The Reach, his second mixtape, was released a year later. In 2016, he released Thirst 48, Pt. II, his third mixtape, and in 2017, he signed to Shady Records and Interscope Records. On January 25, 2019, he released his debut studio album, Everythings for Sale.
Boogie took to Instagram on Tuesday evening (May 11) to share a shot of himself in the studio with Eminem after making the trek to Detroit to play him his new album. Fortunately for him, the co-founder of Shady Records gave his nod.

“Just played my music for this random dude in Detroit ..he just gave me the Green light,” wrote Westside Boogie with the picture where both he’s showing middle fingers with Eminem. The Detroit rapper who rarely comments on others’ social media, also reacts to the post with two “middle fingers” and a “green light” emoji.

In Boogie’s previous album “Everythings for Sale“, Eminem also contributed to the track “Rainy Days“. As we yet to get the tracklist for the upcoming Boogie project, it will be interesting if we get another feature from Eminem. Recently, Westside Boogie contributed to LVRN Label’s RapCaivar Cypher, along with 6LACK, BRS Kash, OMB Bloodbath, Kitty Cash, and NoonieVsEvrybody.
Westside Boogie spoke to HotNewHipHop in May 2020 about his friendship with Eminem and his contributions to his next album. “When we talk it’s regular, he’s like a regular person,” he said. “But when he calls, somebody else calls first and then they’ll be like, ‘Marshall’s on the phone,’ and I feel like I’m about to talk to my teacher or something.”
He also added, “What makes it great about him is he just lets me grow as an artist and let me do what I gotta do. If I need something from him I can always reach out. As far as my work I don’t really want other people influencing my ideas, I wanna get my own thoughts off, I don’t really involve too many people honestly.”
