For over a year, there have been rumors of Slaughterhouse signing with Eminem's Shady Records. They appeared with Eminem in the video of Drake's "Forever." Eminem often speaks of the group when he discusses future projects.

Joe Budden spoke of the irony of signing with 50 Cent's label back in 2009. Despite all of the rumors, nothing panned out. Each time the group said they were signed to Shady, Eminem denied it. But, this time, he did not deny the rumors as they are on Shady Records.

Outside of adding Slaughterhouse to Shady Records, Eminem also added independent Alabama sensation, Yelawolf. Some say Yelawolf is the best white rapper since Eminem. His lyrics did catch Em's attention, so he added him to the label.

This deal will keep Yelawolf on Ghet-O-Vision through Shady/Interscope and return Joell Ortiz to the camp he left in 2008.
