From the gritty streets of Queens, New York, a legend was born. Curtis James Jackson III, better known by his stage name 50 Cent, blasted onto the rap scene with force and fury. Inspired by hip-hop pioneers like Nas, Rakim, and The Notorious B.I.G., 50 Cent began forging his path in the music industry with bold lyrics and unmistakable flow.
In 2002, 50 Cent's career rocketed to new heights with the release of his compilation album 'Guess Who's Back?'. This pivotal record caught the attention of none other than Eminem and led to his signing with Shady Records. Collaborating with giants like Eminem and Dr. Dre, 50 Cent soared to international fame, becoming one of the best-selling artists worldwide.
As a de facto leader of the hip-hop collective G-Unit, 50 Cent's influence extended beyond his own music. Throughout his career, Fifty dexterously maneuvered through various roles, not just as a rapper but also as an entrepreneur, actor, television producer, and director. But it was his debut album, Get Rich or Die Tryin', that cemented his status as a rap luminary.
