Shade 45 is American rapper Eminem‘s hip-hop station on Sirius XM Radio channel 45 and Dish Network channel 6045.

History

Eminem established his channel, Shade 45, that plays uncut hip-hop.[1] The station was developed in partnership between Eminem, his manager Paul Rosenberg, and Sirius Satellite Radio to provide a platform for uncensored hip-hop that was often overlooked by commercial terrestrial radio.[2]

Eminem promoted the station in a 2004 mock national convention (the “Shady National Convention”) at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City,[3] in which Donald Trump endorsed him.[4] On his album Revival (2017), Eminem expressed his regret at having collaborated with Trump, rapping, “wish I would have spit on it before I went to shake his hand at the event” on the song “Like Home”.[5]

In 2011, Eminem established a new morning show, Sway in the Morning with Sway Calloway, which airs at 8:00 a.m., Monday–Friday.[6][7] The show has become a staple for freestyle rap, including the “Hyena” segment where rappers perform live in the studio.[8]

Shade 45 personality Lord Sear, a hip hop DJ who had been with the station for over 20 years, died in March 2026.[9][10]
