Eminem to Introduce New Shady Records Artists on 'Eminem Presents: The Re-Up' Compilation, Out December 5th
Monday September 18, 11:59 pm ET
Album Spotlights Stat Quo, Ca$his and Bobby Creekwater Plus Features Eminem, 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, D12, Obie Trice, Akon and Production From The Alchemist


SANTA MONICA, Calif., Sept. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Rumors about an upcoming mixtape project prompted Eminem today to reveal details about the album. "So much wrong information has gotten out," said the multiplatinum-selling rap superstar, "it's time to set the record straight."


Eminem Presents: The Re-Up(Shady Records/Interscope Records), to be released December 5th, began as a street mixtape project -- an underground, unofficial CD with raw production values -- designed to help launch new Shady Records artists Stat Quo, Ca$his and Bobby Creekwater. "But what happened is that the material was so good and the tracks were getting produced like a regular album," said Eminem. "Instead of putting it out there rough and unfinished, I thought we should add some other new tracks, make it a real album, and put it in the record stores to give these new artists a real boost." The album was executive produced by Eminem, who also produced the majority of the songs. A handful of selections were produced by The Alchemist, who also compiled the album in true mixtape fashion. The Alchemist is best known for his work with Cypress Hill, Nas, Snoop Dogg, Mobb Deep, and Jadakiss.

Each of the tracks makes its official CD debut on Eminem Presents: The Re-Up, though Stat Quo's "Billion Bucks," and Obie Trice's "Cry Now" (Remix), produced by LT Moe, was recently released on mixtapes and to radio. The first single and video will be "You Don't Know" from Eminem, 50 Cent, Ca$his and Lloyd Banks. With Eminem and Ca$his from the Shady camp and 50 Cent and Lloyd Banks from G-Unit, the rap illustrates the unity of the two organizations.

The Re-Up also gave acclaimed hip-hop producer The Alchemist a chance to work with Shady's new regime. After joining forces on-stage as Eminem's DJ on last year's Anger Management 3 tour, Alchemist and the Shady camp began collaborating in the studio. This new album features the results of this anticipated collaboration with new tracks produced by The Alchemist featuring Stat Quo, Ca$his, Bobby Creekwater and Obie Trice.

Among the album's other recordings are "No Apologies" from Eminem; "Talkin' All That" from Ca$his; "City Of Gold" from Bobby Creekwater; "Murder" from Bizarre and Kuniva (both of D12); and The "Smack That (Remix)" with Akon.

Stat Quo, hailing from Atlanta, was signed to a joint deal between Shady Records and Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment after Eminem and Dre heard him on the Underground Atlanta mixtape series. Creekwater, also from Atlanta, was inked after Eminem heard his work on demos and in the studio with The Alchemist. Ca$his, a Chicago native transplanted in his youth to Orange Co., California, was a member of West Coast underground favorites The Renegadez.

Rampant misinformation about Eminem Presents: The Re-Up included many false internet tracklistings and that the mixtape would be a tribute to D12's Proof, the recently slain rapper and close friend of Eminem. "The D12 album and those unreleased songs with Proof are coming," said Eminem. "But The Re-Up is about these new artists and these new songs. It isn't fair to them or to the memory of Proof to mix them up."

Thanks for news

[4D]

Thanks for the news Aspirine, good to hear something concrete on it. I like Alchemist`s mixtapes, he does some great stuff, lookin forward to the stuff he produced and of course, all of the rest of it. Hoope Eminem has at least 3 tracks on it, he`s been gone for too long to release anything less.

I`m not really interested in the rest of the new rappers, especially a wanker called Ca$his.

[shady24/7]

i hope eminem will sign a hot rapper just like 50cent not some kind of a looser
we want the shady family to be the dominant label

lmao hahahaha as shady records goes on every member signed is as worse as the next

d12>obie(that is arguable could be obie>d12) >50>stat>b.creek>cashis (although b creek and cashis are as crap as each other lol

Eminem is better than Obie, but Obie vs D12 not so straight forward, Proof and Swifty are/were on the same level as Obie, but, Bizarre, Kuniva and Kon Artis aren`t. So jury`s out on that, but, I like both Obie`s and D12`s albums!!

Shadyrecords should have had Royce 59 and Zee instead.

Royce + Em + Obie+ D12 + Outsidaz is what my dream shadyrecords team was.
