50 Cent, or Curtis James Jackson III (his real name), is a multi-award-winning rapper, entrepreneur, actor and producer from the Queens borough of New York. A Grammy Award winner and one of the most talented and prolific music artists of his time, he rose to fame with the release of his first album Get Rich or Die Tryin’, which broke every record imaginable. Since then, 50 Cent has sold more than 30 million albums and won many prestigious awards, including Grammy Awards, BRIT Awards, Primetime Emmy Awards, Billboard Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, World Music Awards, American Music Awards, BET Awards, and many more.

50 Cent’s debut album Get Rich or Die Tryin’ (2003), produced by Eminem and Dr Dre, was a huge commercial success. The singles ‘Wanksta’ and ‘In Da Club’ had so many strong melodic hooks that they soon became true pop mega-hits. Two tracks, ‘In Da Club’ and ’21 Questions’, reached the top of the US Billboard Hot 100 and the album went 9 times platinum according to the RIAA.

50 Cent’s second album, The Massacre (2005), featuring ‘Candy Shop’ and ‘Just a Lil Bit’, enjoyed similar commercial success and critical acclaim. The fifth album ‘Animal Ambition’ (2014), you can already hear the changes in his work and 50 Cent is currently working on his latest album, his sixth.
