Eminem writing an autobiography

Hip-hop star Eminem is penning an autobiography.

The rap mogul, who has already starred in a movie about his rags to riches life, will reportedly open up about his family, fame and music.

The memoir will be called 'The Way I Am', and will include never-before seen drawings and illustrations, publisher Dutton Books say.

Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, rose to fame in 1999 and has sold tens of millions of records.

But this will not be the first book for the star.

In 2002 he released 'Angry Blonde' in which he talked about the lyrics on his records.
