Born into a notorious Queens drug dynasty during the late '70s, 50 Cent lost those closest to him at an early age. His mom, Sabrina, gave birth to him when she was only 15. She sold drugs, which later made it easier for 50 to get involved with dealing. Raised without a father, 50's mother, whose name carried weight in the street , was found dead under mysterious circumstances. She was killed at the age of 22, 50 Cent was only 8 years old. He never knew his father. The orphaned youth was taken in by his grandparents, who provided for 50. At the age of 12 he started selling drugs. His desire for things would drive him to the block. Which in his case was the infamous New York Avenue, now known as Guy R. Brewer Blvd. There, 50 stepped up to get his rep up, amassing a small fortune and a lengthy rap sheet. But the birth of his son (Marquis) put things in perspective for the post adolescent, and 50 began to pursue rap seriously. He signed with JMJ, the label of Run DMC DJ Jam Master Jay and began learning his trade. JMJ would teach the young buck to count bars and structure songs. Unfortunately, caught up in industry limbo, there wasn't much JMJ could do for 50. When the platinum hit makers The Trackmasters took notice of 50 and signed him to Columbia Records in 1999, his breakthrough seemed inevitable. They shipped 50 to upstate New York and locked him up in the studio. In just over two weeks, 50 cranked out 36 songs, which resulted in Power of a Dollar, which Blaze Magazine deemed a classic. The album produced a sarcastic stick-up anthem called "How to Rob" which blew through the roof and playfully depicted a ruthless up-and-comer detailing how he would rob famous artists like Master P and Timbaland. The song became an underground hit but not everyone was impressed. Jay-Z, Big Pun, Sticky Fingaz and Ghostface Killah
all replied to the song "It wasn't personal". It was comedy based on truth, which made it so funny, claimed 50 Cent. Amidst the controversy and a potential breakout cut, "Thug Love" with Destiny's Child, heavy bootlegging tainted Columbia's position on the controversial 50 and they pulled the album.In April of '00, 50 was shot 9 times, including a .9mm bullet to the face, in front of his grandmothers house in Queens. He spent the next few months in recovery while Columbia Records dropped him from the label. 50 didn't fold, he flew. Right into the zone. He banged out track after track, despite no income or backing, with his new business partner and friend Sha Money XL. The two recorded over 30 songs, strictly for mix-tapes, with the soul purpose of building a buzz. 50's street value rose and by the end of the spring of '01 he'd released the new material independently on the makeshift LP, "Guess Who's Back?". Beginning to attract interest, and now backed by his crew, G-Unit, 50 stayed on his grind and made more songs. But it was different this time. Rather than create new songs as they had before, 50 decided to showcase his hit-making ability by retouching first-class beats which had already been used. They released the red, white and blue bootleg, "50 Cent Is the Future," revisiting material by Jay-Z and even Rapheal Saadiq. In the midst of a major-label bidding war between Jive, Universal and J . The energetic CD caught the ear of supa MC Eminem, and within a week Em was on the radio saying, '50 Cent is my favorite rapper right now.' After consulting with Dr. Dre, Eminem ended up signing 50 to his Shady/Aftermath label, reportedly for over a million dollars. 50 has made it clear, though, that it wasn't the money that lured him to the Shady side of the tracks; it was the opportunity to work with the "dream team." In the wake of his acquisition, 50 Cent has become the most sought after newcomer in almost a decade. Not since the summer of '94, when radio would play absolutely anything Notorious B.I.G. related, has hip-hop seen buzz like this.
Ever the clever businessman, 50 didn't let the opportunity escape him and quickly released another bootleg of borrowed beats, "No Mercy, No Fear." The CD featured only one new track, "Wanksta," which was certainly not intended for radio, but the streets couldn't wait for the official single and within weeks "Wanksta" became New York's most requested record. Thankfully, the stellar cut has found a home on the multi-platinum soundtrack to Eminem's smash movie, "8 Mile." With several huge hits already under his belt, 50 Cent is poised to be the artist to beat next year. And February 06 he released his first official album Get Rich Or Die Tryin'. Get Rich Or Die Tryin' become 6 times platinum. 50 Cent get awards on MTV Video Music Award, World Music Awards 2003, Source Hip-Hip Music Awards and many other. But money and popularity don't affect on 50 Cent. July 29, 2003 he release album "24 Shots" where you can hear couple on new songs and at November 11, 2003 50 Cent and his group "G-UNIT" release their first album "Beg For Mecy". In just three month, album was certified double platinum. And now all we wait for autumn when new 50 Cent album must be released.
