Jay-Z & Eminem Songs to be in DJ Hero

Rap stars Jay-Z and Eminem will contribute their popular songs to DJ Hero and will also contribute on a special branded version of the game. Their version will include an “advanced version” of the game’s turntable controller, which also has a metal traveling case that converts to a DJ-ready stand.
