Eminem and his SiriusXM radio channel Shade45 have teamed up for the Love Your DJ campaign. The Detroit-bred rap giant made the announcement via social media on Friday (April 24).
According to an Instagram post, all Michigan DJs can enter to win a chance at airplay on Shady45 and the first 500 entrants received a $313 stimulus payment.
“Hometown DJ’s!” he wrote in the caption. “@shade45 and me linked up for #LoveYourDJ – first 500 get $313. Top 15 to get aired on Shade 45. #stimuluscheck #detroit Hit the link in bio for info.”
As explained on Em’s website, the Love Your DJ initiative “will offer DJs from Michigan the opportunity to submit their best custom mixes via a SoundCloud link for the chance to have their mix air on Shade45 on SiriusXM, as well as receive a $313 cash payment, an homage to the Detroit area code.
“The first 500 qualified entries, in accordance with the rules, will receive the $313 cash prize. Of the first 500 entrants, 15 grand prize winners will be selected by a panel of judges from Shady Records to receive a chance for their mix to air on Shade45 as a part of the Love Your DJ Mixshow Takeover beginning May 2.
“Mixes will be judged on sound quality, originality, and texture of the entry, as it fits within the sound of Shade45 programming on SiriusXM.”
Em will host his own show, “Music To Be Quarantined By,” during the Love Your DJ Mixshow Takeover featuring his top Hip Hop picks beginning on May 2 at noon EST.
Shady, who celebrated 12 years of sobriety on Monday (April 20), also donated cups of his famous Mom’s Spaghetti to Motor City healthcare workers as they battle the coronavirus pandemic from the frontlines.

That’s dope fiend money. Not worth serious time or effort. EM always been piety with his money. He does a little bit just for exposure. He learned that from Dre. He don’t do shit! Ask Eazy E’s kids lol!
Its pety dipshit. Hes been sober 12 years ,yeah its dopefiend money. Dre doesn’t have to take care of eazys kids. When you die do you think your friends will take care of your kids? Em doesn’t owe you or anyone else shit. Let him do what he wants with his money. Who the fuck are you to tell him where and how he should spend it
It smells like wet dog and bologna in here.
Yup smells just like your mom’s house when me and my boys get done running a train on her
How much you donated?
and everyone will still hate on him saying its a PR stunt.
Read the first few sentences to see what this is about. After I got it, I instantly scrolled down just to see all those usual, funny hate-comments about someone tryin doin a lil bit of good out there… guess I‘m a bit early. But the hate should be guaranteed…
Just put Apple Music on shuffle and you’ve got a DJ
The ignorance is strong in you, young fella.
Ain’t nobody hating…lil dumb fuckas…the word “stimulus” shouldn’t be used in the articles title…its a fuckin contest…nothing more nothing less..
Real djs don’t enter contents unless it’s global ones like IDJ, DMC etc. And even then it’s not worth the prize money. This isn’t handing out stimulus, it’s an Eminem event with Eminem branding to promo Eminem. That’s all. Cus he can’t tour rn cuz Rona
Eminem doesn’t need to promote ahead of time… he sells out in seconds
This old washed up has been tryna get another second or two in the limelight, this time straight up buying popularity. Ain’t nobody fuckin with this clown in 2020 wake the fuck up people.
He is giving $156k away to be charitable and giving 500 DJs the opportunity to get a look and get on and this is your input? …that’s sad man. You must be a miserable dude. TikTok @jesseonfire
Nigga, this is a BUSINESS move, not a charity.
Maybe it’s both? A business move and charity. Giving away 313 dollars to 500 people is a pretty nice thing to do no matter which way you cut it.
You are a fucking goof nobody likes your new generation trash shut your mouth
That’s so awesome.
Wow, you guys really need to get laid. It’s a competition for a reward, not a conspiracy. Oh sorry I forgot, it’s Eminem….. Commence mindless hate mode!
I’m reading comments and wondering. Can you pay for a contest; could you give 500 people over 300 dallors. What are you doing for your community pertaining to this coronavirus? I’ll wait?
He just gave a bunch of food to hospitals and as far as I am concerned a bunch of Djs whom are most likely out of work due to clubs and promotions being shut down some little extra cash flow obviously helps too so my question to you is what the fuck are you doing aside from probley spreading false narratives from the slave cast you watch and bitch and wine about those who do help
