Eminem is currently signed to Aftermath Entertainment, a subsidiary of Interscope Records, and Shady Records, his own record label. He's been with Aftermath Entertainment since 1998 when Dr. Dre first signed him after hearing his Slim Shady EP.

The partnership between Eminem and Aftermath Entertainment has been one of the most successful in hip-hop history. Through this label, he's released multiple platinum-selling albums, including "The Marshall Mathers LP" and "The Eminem Show."

In 1999, Eminem and his manager Paul Rosenberg established Shady Records in partnership with Interscope Records. This gave Eminem the unique position of being both an artist and a label executive. While he releases his own music through both Aftermath and Shady Records, he uses Shady Records to sign and develop other artists.

His original contract signing with Aftermath Entertainment came after he placed second in the 1997 Rap Olympics in Los Angeles. Dr. Dre, impressed by Eminem's raw talent, immediately signed him to the label, marking the beginning of one of hip-hop's most influential partnerships.

The label structure for Eminem's releases works like this: - Aftermath Entertainment (Primary label) - Shady Records (His own imprint) - Interscope Records (Parent company)

All of Eminem's major studio albums since 1999 have been released through this label combination, and he continues to maintain this arrangement today. This partnership has resulted in over 220 million records sold worldwide, making him one of the best-selling artists of all time.

The relationship between Eminem and his labels remains strong, with no public plans to change this arrangement. His most recent albums, including "Music to Be Murdered By" (2020), were released under the same label structure.
