Eminem signs up unknown homeless British singer

January 19, 2005, 11:32:27 Eminem and 50 Cent have made an unknown homeless British singer the first signing to their new record label.

The two rappers have made Grant Harvey - who is one half of R'n'B duo Tilda - their latest prodigy and are grooming him for pop success.

Harvey was first spotted by Eminem's aides singing on the streets of Los Angeles, where he was sleeping rough and desperately trying to raise money, and was invited to perform for the two hip hop stars at their studio.

When 50 Cent and Eminem saw Harvey, and singing partner Daniel Booker, perform they were offered a contract on the duo's new label, G-Unit Soul, on the spot.

Harvey said: "We met up in London and moved to LA to try to make it. We were even homeless for a while and at one time were living with a pimp.

We were close to quitting but now things are happening thanks to 50 and Em."

The label, which will focus on finding new R'n'B talent rather than rap, is Eminem's latest side project - he was responsible for turning the 'In Da Club' singer into a worldwide star.

Eminem and 50 are so excited by their new act they are both tipping Harvey to become the first British artist to break into the multi-million dollar US urban market.

So much for keepin' it gangsta.

SINGER SCAMS PRESS

A British singer has confessed to hoaxing the media into believing his R&B act had been signed by superstars Eminem and 50 Cent.

Tabloid newspaper The Sun Thursday claimed Tilda -- Grant Harvey and Daniel Booker -- were spotted by the hip-hop stars busking on a Los Angeles street and offered a deal with their G-Unit Soul record label, and the news was quickly picked up around the world.

But Harvey has admitted the whole story was a lie and purely a publicity stunt.

He reveals, "We scammed them for the publicity. I can't believe how easy it was. To think we would be signed up by Eminem is absurd, but they fell for it."

It didn't quite sound right when I heard it, but with Eminem you never know, he is so publicity hungry.

I believe the story. Em and 50 probably voided the contract once they realized how super gay that was.

Its a hoax.
