Marshall Bruce Mathers III, or, as most of us know him, Eminem, was born on October 17, 1972, and comes from the rough streets of Detroit, Michigan. Far from a trust-fund baby, his days were filled with family drama and wallet woes.
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has him at the top of their list as the highest-selling rapper. As of mid-2022, Eminem has raked in a whopping $166 million in digital singles alone.
He’s not only a recording artist and record label exec, Eminem is also a successful broadcaster. He released his own hip-hop radio station called Shade 45 on Sirius XM, where he lays down his tracks and dishes out exclusive interviews.
