Eminem’s first single “Not Afraid” from his soon to be released new album “Recovery” is already topping the charts at No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. The rapper is the 16th artist in the chart’s history with a single that topped the chart in its debut week. 

Another great news for Eminem is that he will headline a couple of concerts together with Jay-Z in New York and Detroit. Both cities represent the hometowns of Jay-Z and Eminem. 

The dates which have been announced are September 2nd and September 13th. On September 2, Eminem will headline a show at Detroit's Comerica Park, joined by Jay-Z; on September 13, Jay-Z will headline at New York's Yankee Stadium. 

"This is a once in a lifetime set of shows and I know we're both really going to bring it to our home towns" says Eminem. "I've always hoped that hip-hop could play any stadium like other genres of music," says Jay-Z, who is currently touring in support of 2009 album Blueprint 3. "Fun and historic, a great combination all around the board." 

This won’t be the first time that these Rap Superstars will collaborate on stage. Eminem was featured on Jay-Z’s “Renegade”, of which he was also involved in producing parts of the track. They also collaborated on “Moments of Clarity”, “Izzo (H.OV.A.), and “My Name Is”.
