Marshall has found a way to support DJs in his hometown. He offers money and exposure to 500 musicians.
Covid-19 pandemic hit the music industry hard. Eminem’s charity Marshall Mathers Foundation launched the campaign that allows hundreds of Detroit musicians to get some cash to get by and let them be heard by the wider public.
He announced it on his social media:

Love Your DJ, presented by Eminem and The Marshall Mathers Foundation, will offer DJs from Michigan the opportunity to submit their best custom mixes via a SoundCloud link at siriusxm.com/LoveYourDJ 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. Rules, eligibility and submission guidelines HERE.
During the Love Your DJ Mixshow Takeover, Eminem will also host his own show, “Music To Be Quarantined By,” featuring hip-hop songs he recommends listening to while at home beginning May 2 at Noon ET on Shade45.
Love Your DJ begins today and ends Wednesday, April 29 at Noon ET.
