Eminem fans with V Festival tickets might be interested to learn that the acclaimed artist has provided inspiration for an unlikely new figure on the rap scene - Bob Dylan's grandson.
Pablo Dylan has created a mix tape showcasing his skills as a rapper and is also set to release a single.
Speaking to AllHipHop.com, Dylan revealed that The Eminem Show was the album that led to him falling in love with the genre.
The 15-year-old also spoke about his grandfather's contribution to music, describing him as "the Jay-Z of his time".
"He definitely has a legacy that a lot of people look up to," he added. "He feels strongly about my music and I love him to death."
Eminem recently stormed the album charts with Recovery, which reached number one in the UK, the US and several other countries.
He will be headlining the main stage on one day of this year's V Festival, while Arctic Monkeys will play the final show on the other day.
