Eminem’s brother Nathan Mathers also known as Nate Kane is due to drop an album in 2010.  The twenty four year old who was previously charged for drunk driving in two different states decided that his probation is not going to stop him from following in his big brother’s foot steps.  According to the Real Detroit Weekly Nate Mather’s new album will include big name artists such as 50 cent and Mike Jones, who? Mike Jones!  Now to some of you this may be a surprise because it almost seems that Eminem doesn’t have good relations with any of his family members excluding of course his daughters but Em and Nate have always been close.  The Mathers brothers have even been to several events together and Em has mentioned him in a few of his songs such “Cleanin Out My Closet” where he warns his mother that “Nathan’s growing up so quick, he’s gonna know that your phoney…”

Nate of course says Eminem was his main inspiration for his style.  He definitely does sound a lot like Em in terms of his voice but obviously his lyrics don’t even come close.  What makes Eminem so special is well…he is special, he is unique and something the music industry had never seen or heard before.  So far Nate just sounds like anything you would hear on the radio if you ever listen to it anymore; rapping about clubs, bottles, and girls.  Coming out under Eminem’s shadow is going to be tough to say the least but some serious perks come from having a platinum artist as your brother. For one, you know for sure that the album is going to have some sick beats and two, you are going to some big artists dropping bars just to get on Em’s good side.  Nate is due to perform live on February 27th at Detroit’s Majestic Theatre. Also checkout Nate Mather’s MySpace, he seems pretty angry, like they say the apples does not fall far from the tree.

Nate’s track “Slide on Over” has already got some spins on Detroit’s radio station WKQI, press play.
