According to the latest Malibooz newsletter, Walter Egan's "Hot Summer Nights" (featured on his 1978 album Not Shy as well as the Malibooz's Malibooz Rule!) was the basis for Eminem's new single "We Made You." The influence of "Hot Summer Nights" is so strong that Eminem and Dr. Dre are sharing co-writing credit of “We Made You” with Walter Egan.
"We Made You" is the first single from Eminem's upcoming album Relapse which will be released on May 19th. The single entered the iTunes charts this week at #1.
