Eminem put Detroit on the map when his music found its way into the hands of Dr. Dre. One visit to Los Angeles and Eminem was signed to Aftermath Entertainment. Proving he could sell records, Eminem was granted his own label, Shady Records. When he launched his own label, Eminem signed his crew, D12.
Obie Trice was known by Bizarre and he was soon added to Shady Records. A fixture in several music videos, Obie Trice became well-known. But, in 2003, all eyes were on him, as fans learned of his own unique sense of humor in “Got Some Teeth.” Obie Trice proved to be a hitmaker, but three years passed before his next release.
In 2009, Obie Trice left Shady Records, starting his own label. Still, Obie Trice has remained on good terms with Eminem, with the two coming together for his “Richard” single. Footage of the two in the studio circulated the internet. With Obie Trice’s Bottom’s Up album on the way, he sat down with local Detroit television station, MyFox 2, discussing his new album and work with Eminem and Dr. Dre.
