Eminem is currently signed to Aftermath Entertainment and Shady Records, with both labels operating under the umbrella of Universal Music Group's Interscope Records. His journey with these record labels spans over two decades, beginning in 1998 when Dr. Dre first signed him to Aftermath Entertainment.

The relationship between Eminem and Aftermath Entertainment has been particularly significant, as it marked the turning point in his career when Dr. Dre discovered him. This partnership led to the release of his breakthrough album "The Slim Shady LP" in 1999, which launched him to global stardom.

In 1999, Eminem also established his own record label, Shady Records, in partnership with his manager Paul Rosenberg. While maintaining his position as an artist on Aftermath Entertainment, Eminem uses Shady Records to sign and develop other artists. Notable acts that have been signed to Shady Records include 50 Cent, D12, and more recently, Grip and Westside Boogie.

The current structure of Eminem's record deal can be broken down as follows:

• Primary Label: Aftermath Entertainment
• Secondary Label: Shady Records
• Parent Company: Interscope Records (Universal Music Group)

This arrangement has remained consistent since the late 1990s, making it one of the longest-standing and most successful artist-label relationships in hip-hop history. Through this deal, Eminem has sold over 166 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling artists of all time.

It's worth noting that while Eminem releases his own music through Aftermath Entertainment, he maintains an active role as CEO of Shady Records, where he continues to scout and develop new talent in the hip-hop industry.
