Eminem raps away towards SA
Great news for South African fans: iconic rapper Eminem is bringing his Rapture 2014 tour to SA.
He will visit Ellis Park Stadium on Saturday, March 1, next year.
This is Eminem’s first visit to South Africa and the African continent.
The Marshall Mathers LP 2, released on November 5, has sold well over 750 000 units and is billed as one of the hottest albums of the year.
The Guardian said of his recent shows in Britain: “His stage presence is as potent as ever.”
A 13-time Grammy and Oscar-winner, Eminem has sold 80 million albums, scanned 120-m singles and had 2.5-bn views online.
In South Africa, Eminem remains one of the most successful chart acts of all time. Of his eight albums released here, seven went to number one.
He has hit the top of the Top 100 airplay Singles Chart six times, including Without Me and Lose Yourself, and, most recently, with his 2010 Rihanna collaboration, Love The Way You Lie, which was the second-biggest selling single that year.
His new single, Monster, with Rihanna, is currently the highest debut on the South African RAMS chart.
