Shady Records is an American record label specializing in hip hop music. Eminem and his manager Paul Rosenberg founded the label in 1999 after the release of The Slim Shady LP.
The label has signed nine acts over the years, earning RIAA certifications of platinum or higher on seven of its twelve released albums. Signed acts include D12, 50 Cent, Slaughterhouse, Yelawolf and Bad Meets Evil, while former acts include Obie Trice, Stat Quo, Bobby Creekwater and Cashis.
After Eminem released The Slim Shady LP, he started his own record label in late 1999 with his manager, Paul Rosenberg. Eminem looked for an avenue to release his Detroit-based rap group, D12, and Rosenberg was keen to start a label, which led to the two teaming up to form Shady Records. Its A Marc Labelle has defined the imprint as "a boutique label but [with] all the outlets of a major [and] Interscope backing up our every move."
