In addition to managing the artists listed above, Rosenberg is also the co-founder (with Eminem) of hip hop record label Shady Records, founded in 1999.[2] Rosenberg first became involved with Eminem in 1997, during the recording of Slim Shady EP,[2] and has since been featured in a skit (titled "Paul" except on The Eminem Show, where it was called "Paul Rosenberg") on every album since The Slim Shady LP, with the exception of Recovery and The Marshall Mathers LP 2, as a character concerned with the particular record, advising Eminem on steps to take and often ordering him to "tone down" the lyrics or scrap the album completely.[3][4][5] With Eminem, Rosenberg co-wrote every skit on the 2009 album Relapse.[6]

Rosenberg is affiliated with Deckstar and Lawrence Vavra, in addition with Steve Aoki and his label Dim Mak Records, working in the management area.
