Eminem's new compilation that celebrates 15 years of Shady Records, Shady XV, is out now. The two-disc release, which features 12 new tracks and some greatest hits, is available to stream below via Spotify. Slaughterhouse, 50 Cent, D12 and Yelawolf all appear on the effort.
As MTV News points out, Shady Records was founded in 1999 and has since dropped a ton of big-name releases, including the soundtrack to the semi biopic 8 Mile. Shady XV highlights include the jam-packed "Detroit vs. Everybody" and Em/Yelawolf collaboration "Psychopath Killer." Notable hits include 50 Cent's "In Da Club," D12's "My Band" and Eminem's "Lose Yourself."
The release also features the Bad Meets Evil cut "Vegas." That leaked audio got Em in trouble earlier because of its lyics referencing rape and Iggy Azalea. Shady also rapped about punching Lana Del Rey in the face like "Ray Rice" in a promotional video.
Shady and co. also released a 66-track mixtape over the weekend in advance of the compilation album. The mixtape features freestyles, outtakes and skits alongside other cuts that didn't make Shady XV.
In August, Em concluded The Monster tour with Rihanna. The pair hit the road in support of The Marshall Mathers LP 2, which featured the tour's namesake hit.
"He's in a new era, a new place, and he's thinking more about his career and life in a larger context-and it defines where he's at and what he is now," XXL wrote about the album. "For a songwriter as open and honest as Eminem, love it or hate it, that's always what he'll bring. Marshall Mathers is in a never-ending battle with Slim Shady. For better or for worse."
