Get Rich Or Die Tryin'

"50 Cent has star quality. He's got the story, the lyrics, the flow. He is going to be the biggest rapper"
- Eminem

50 Cent, born Curtis Jackson 26 years ago, is the real deal, the genuine article. He's a man of the street, intimately familiar with its codes and its violence, but still, 50, is an incredibly intelligent and deliberate man.

Hip-hop history was written when a CD 50 Cent had been working caught the ear of super MC Eminem, and within a week Eminem was on the radio saying 50 Cent is my favourite rapper right now. Eminem looked to mentor Dr. Dre to confirm his belief in the young hitmaker, and the good doctor co-signed and 50 Cent has become the most sought after newcomer in almost a decade.

50 Cent worked with Eminem and Obie Trice on Love Me and contributed two new tracks to the platinum selling 8 Mile soundtrack. With several huge hits already under his belt, newly recorded songs with Eminem and with the help of hip-hop's greatest producer, Dr.Dre, 50 Cent is the artist to watch out for and listen to - now.
