The Detroit rapper is up for eight VMAs this year, and he will be performing music from his new album, “The Death of Slim Shady.”

Detroiters got to see Eminem perform the hit “Houdini” this summer at the opening of the Michigan Grand Central Station concert, but for many others, this will be the first time they will get to see Eminem perform new music.

The VMA X account (formally Twitter) posted about the news Monday morning.

Eminem is nominated for Artist of the Year, Video of the Year, Best Hip-Hop and Song of the Summer, just to name a few.

Local 4′s Devin Scillian and Kimberly Gill are featured in one of the album’s interludes, titled, “Breaking News,” where it’s being reported that Eminem has released a new album trying to cancel himself, and protests are developing outside his Detroit restaurant.

The MTV VMAs start at 8 pm on Wednesday, Sept. 11.
