And who better to kick off this groundbreaking game than with the king of hip-hop, Jay-Z. DJ Hero Renegade Edition not only Features Jay-Z but also rap legend Eminem. In addition to the DJ Hero game, the Renegade Edition includes a premium Renegade turntable controller, hardshell turntable carrying case that converts to a performance-ready DJ stand, and an exclusive Jay-Z and Eminem 2-CD pack featuring both best-of and new, unreleased tracks.
