SIRIUS Satellite Radio's Shade 45 channel has turned one today, (Thursday, October 27).
The channel launched in October 2004 with a live concert broadcast from Eminem’s Shady National Convention in New York City.
Eminem will be on Shade 45 throughout the next several days to talk about the channel’s success over the past year, his upcoming greatest hits album Curtain Call and other new projects in development.
XXL Magazine has produced a special edition entitled XXL Presents Shade 45. This one-shot magazine places emphasis on Eminem and his new radio channel, Shade 45 on SIRIUS Satellite Radio.
XXL explores how and why SIRIUS created Shade 45 in association with Eminem, Shady Records and Interscope Records. The issue also features a free Eminem poster and a notorious Q&A with Em, 50 and Dre together. For fans who want to know about the man “behind” Eminem, there is an interview with his manager, business partner and friend Paul Rosenberg.
Eminem has added yet another hot DJ to his Shade 45 station on Sirius Satellite Radio - DJ Kay Slay.
The host of a new weekly four-hour mix show called Streetsweepers Radio, DJ Kay Slay will feature exclusives, freestyles, special guests, and, of course... drama.
DJ Kay Slay became known as the "Drama King" for his role in some of hip-hop's most popular and publicized rap battles, such as the one between Jay-Z and Nas.
