Share

(Newser) – Two of the biggest names in rap are on board with Guitar Hero’s latest spin-off, USA Today reports. When DJ Hero launches this fall, its celebrity lineup will include Jay-Z and Eminem. Both are working with manufacturer Activision and developer FreeStyleGames to finalize their playlists. “I have a ton of content, I just need the pipeline,” says Jay-Z, whose contributions will include Dirt Off Your Shoulder.

Adds Eminem: "This is a game I can see myself actually playing."
