Rapper Eminem has signed a new deal with Universal Music Publishing Group.
The Grammy-winning artist has penned an "exclusive, worldwide administration agreement" with the company which includes hits past and present.

According to Universal, the deal also involves a joint venture with Shady Music Publishing, the rapper's publishing company.

"His success as a writer and producer for both his own records as well as other artists continues to grow. We are honoured that Eminem and his representatives have chosen Universal Music Publishing Group as their new home."
Eminem has won nine Grammy Awards, including three for best rap album and three for best rap solo performance.
