Eminem
Eminem, born Marshall Bruce Mathers III in St. Joseph, Missouri, in 1972, grew up largely in Detroit and broke through after signing with Dr. Dre’s Aftermath, with The Slim Shady LP in 1999. “Lose Yourself”, from the 2002 film 8 Mile, won the Academy Award for Best Original Song. His most recent studio album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), came out in July 2024. In 2025 came Stans, a documentary about his career told through his most devoted fans.
