Before first major release, early years on Shady Records

As an acquaintance of D12 member Bizarre, Obie was signed after a personal introduction to Eminem allowed him to impress the Detroit rap legend in-person. The general public were first introduced to Obie on D12’s Devil’s Night album on a skit. His one-line opener (“Obie Trice: Real name, no gimmicks” - taken from his song “Rap Name” and referring to the lack of a rap pseudonym) on Eminem’s lead single; “Without Me”, off the critically-acclaimed and commercially successful The Eminem Show increased public awareness of his name and slogan. Obie also appeared in the video for the song, body-slamming a dummy representing Moby. Appearances on DJ Green Lantern’s official Shady Records Invasion mixtape series, allowed him to further his public recognition.

In 2002, Trice appeared in 8 Mile as one of the rappers in the Chin Tiki parking lot scene. Trice also has a featured appearance as Big Pimpin’ in the Detroit made independent feature film Life Goes On, which will premiere at the Cannes International Film Festival in May 2006.
