Rapper Eminem walks backstage during the 52nd Annual GRAMMY Awards held at Staples Center on January 31, 2010 in Los Angeles, California.

Shady Records is set to work with two Griselda Records artists namely Westside Gunn and Conway, respectively. Recently, Eminem signed a deal with the Buffalo-based label to release solo projects from the two rappers, who are siblings.

In the early 2000s, Gunn was known as one of the best rappers in Buffalo and Conway acted as his manager. The two have worked with established artists including Stalley, Smoke DZA and The Alchemist.

"The style and energy of Griselda Records, Gunn and Conway are infectious," Eminem told All Hip Hop. "We can't wait to put them on the platform they have earned and deserve."

As a solo artist, Gunn has released four mixtapes and two studio albums. In 2015, he collaborated with Conway on the songs "Hall and Nash" and "Griselda Ghost." In 2016, Gunn and Conway collaborated with Mach Hommy on the song "Don't Get Scared Now."  

On the other hand, Eminem has yet to reveal the release date of his upcoming ninth studio album. What his fans know is that the album is coming very soon but they are not sure whether or not it will be out before 2018.

Recently, Eminem's long-time collaborator Jeff Bass talked about the early years of the Detroit rapper's career and their successful collaboration "Lose Yourself," which won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2003.

In an interview with Billboard, Bass revealed that the Oscar trophy currently sits in his home studio with his Grammys as a reminder of how blessed he is. After winning Grammys and Oscars, he believes that there is not much more than that to achieve.

"Getting accolades and admiration hasn't changed me much," Bass said. "I'm still the same dude, and I'm grateful that I can do this for a living."
