50 Cent has been making major moves in the hip-hop music industry since
his classic debut Get Rich Or Die Tryin' hit the streets.
With the latest G Unit release Beg For Mercy
there's no stopping Curtis Jackson aka 50Cent! With Eminem and Dr Dre
behind the Queens Native, a Superstar was born and is taking over the
charts with blazin' hot music for the streets!
Curtis
Jackson was born on July 6, 1976, Queens, New York, USA. Before
landing his contract with Eminem to be a part of Shady/Aftermath
Records, 50Cent was already being noticed from his mixtapes
circulating on the streets. Teamed up with the production crew, Trackmasters, 50
Cent hustled to put out hot music. On the underground hit "How To
Rob", 50 took shots at hiphop artists Jay-Z, Sticky Fingaz and Lil'
Kim among others which led him a deal with Columbia Records.
The
rapper has completed his album Power Of The Dollar (Produced By
Trackmasters) and released his first single featuring Destiny's Child
titled: "Thug
Love" before a series of events conspired to derail his major record
deal. Power Of The Dollar was getting heavily bootlegged and Columbia
Records wasn't too happy. On May 24, 2000 - 50 Cent received multiple
gunshot wounds in a street shooting. As a result, 50 was released from
his contract with Columbia and Power Of The Dollar was shelved.
Ironically, the gun wounds gave 50 his signature slur which in no doubt
improved his flow delivery.
50 Cent
retreated back on the street mixtapes with his crew G-Unit and teamed
up with producer Money-XL which again generated a huge buzz in the streets. 50
Cent started to gain attention again by major record companies and
finally landed a deal with Shady/Aftermath records after Eminem took
notice. The smash hit "Wanksta" featured on the 8 Mile soundtrack got
media attention and when "In Da Club" (Produced By: Dr Dre) was
released, the buzz was huge and 50 dominated the billboard charts
going multi-platinum celebrating success. The new release from G-Unit,
Beg For Mercy
debuted at #3 and 50 landed a deal with Reebok to release the "G-Unit
Sneaker". 50Cent has became a huge artist in the rap/hip-hop history
and continues to dominate the charts today! G G G G G UNIT!
