Eminem will sit down with Shade 45's DJ Whoo Kid on Saturday, October 3 at 3:00 pm ET, during the G Unit Saturdays program, to go in-depth about his highly-anticipated upcoming album, Relapse 2, his performance at Voodoo Festival in New Orleans on October 30 and his role in developing the new video game DJ Hero, scheduled to be released on October 27.

Additionally, Eminem will speak with Shade 45's DJ Tony Touch as part of the Toca Tuesdays show on Tuesday, October 6 at 9:00 pm ET.

In May 2009, when Relapse entered the Billboard chart at number one, Shade 45 presented an unprecedented special "Shade 45 Presents...Eminem: The Prelapse Special" featuring Eminem himself sitting down with Shade 45's Reef for a three-hour interview. During the interview, Eminem took listeners on a guided tour through the making of the chart-topping album, offered commentary on his triumphant return to the music scene while overcoming tragedy, loss and confronting his own personal demons.

Shade 45 is SIRIUS XM's uncensored, commercial-free hip-hop channel created by Eminem, Shady Records, Interscope Records and SIRIUS.
