Eminem is giving fans the opportunity to watch him record his new LP in a Willie Wonka-style golden ticket giveaway.
To be in with a chance of winning, fans will need to buy the new album from Eminem protégé Obie Trice - three of the first 500,000 copies will contain the winning tickets.
"We were working on this album and trying to come up with the craziest idea possible to help promote it," explained Em.
"Everybody's always doing the same sh*t with their records," said Trice. "'Buy my album, get a DVD, get a free poster, get a piece of my toilet seat'.
"F*ck that sh*t. When I was a kid I would have given a nut to win something like this."
Trice, who has previously provided guest vocals on Eminem tracks including 'Drips' and 'Love Me', was signed to Shady Records after the rap superstar heard him freestyling through his car window.
His debut album, 'Cheers', is released in the US on September 23.
"I'm just happy to be here," Trice told Rolling Stone. "A lot of people where I'm from, they didn't make it. I'm cheers-ing my first album."
