Following months of speculation, Slaughterhouse has finally signed with Shady Records. Now that the signing is official, the group is waiting for directons from the boss, Eminem. Royce Da 5'9, a fellow rapper from Detroit, recently opened up on what has been going on since the signing.

Eminem heard the group's 2009 album and he liked it. Unlike many other executives, Eminem does not like changing what works. In music, especially hip hop, that happens frequently. In 2002, Jay-Z attempted to change Cam'ron's style and his entire label fell apart. This will not be happening on Eminem's watch.

When the first meeting was called, Royce said Eminem told them to do what they did on their last album. The group released their self-titled debut while waiting on Eminem to sign them. Despite featuring the group in his verse on "Forever," Eminem did not sign the group until recently. But, he has finally signed the group and they are currently recording their Shady Records' debut.
