The The Art of Bars playlist has been around for quite some time and featured different names depending on who was in charge of putting it together. Marshall as a curator decided to focus on new artists.
Drawing the attention to the project , Audiomack described it as follows: Eminem will be curating a selection of his favorite rap tracks from skilled lyricists, including a few submissions from up-and-coming spitters.
And now, finally, the playlist went live. It is 70 minute long and features 25 songs from artists many of whom you didn’t hear before. Audomack declared the playlist officially launched:
