About 50 Cent

Curtis James Jackson III, famously known as 50 Cent, rose from the challenging streets of South Jamaica, Queens, New York, to become one of the most recognisable and influential figures in hip-hop and beyond. His compelling life story, sharp business acumen, and undeniable musical talent have cemented his place in popular culture.

50 Cent’s meteoric rise to fame was ignited by his executive producers, Eminem and Dr. Dre, who signed him to Shady/Aftermath/Interscope Records. His major-label debut album, Get Rich or Die Tryin’, released in February 2003, was an instant phenomenon. Fueled by the massive success of the lead single “In da Club,” the album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and sold over 872,000 copies in its first week, becoming the best-selling album of 2003 in the US. Other smash hits from the album included the introspective “21 Questions” (featuring Nate Dogg) and the confident “P.I.M.P.” His subsequent album, The Massacre (2005), continued his chart dominance with singles like “Candy Shop” and “Disco Inferno.” Other notable tracks throughout his career include “Many Men (Wish Death),” “Hustler’s Ambition,” “Window Shopper,” “Ayo Technology” (with Justin Timberlake and Timbaland), and “I Get Money.”

50 Cent has a strong connection with his UK fanbase, having toured extensively throughout his career. His live performances are known for their high energy and engaging stage presence, bringing his street narratives and anthems to life. He has played numerous arenas and festivals, consistently drawing large crowds. His tours have often included stops in major cities like London, Manchester, and Glasgow, allowing fans across the UK to experience his dynamic shows.

50 Cent has received significant critical and commercial acclaim throughout his career, accumulating numerous awards and nominations. He has won one Grammy Award for “Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group” for “Crack a Bottle” (with Eminem and Dr. Dre) in 2010, from 14 nominations. He has also won three American Music Awards, including “Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Album” for Get Rich or Die Tryin’ in 2003 and The Massacre in 2005. His accolades also include multiple Billboard Music Awards (13 wins from 18 nominations), MOBO Awards, MTV Video Music Awards, and World Music Awards, recognising his global impact and sales success. Beyond music, he has also received a Primetime Emmy Award for his work as an executive producer on the TV series Power.

50 Cent’s influence on hip-hop and popular culture is undeniable and multifaceted. Musically, he revitalised gangsta rap in the early 2000s, bringing a raw, authentic, and often controversial street narrative to the mainstream. His distinctive flow, catchy hooks, and ability to blend hard-hitting lyrics with commercial appeal set a new standard for the genre. He also pioneered the art of mixtape marketing, using them to build immense buzz before his major-label debut, a strategy widely adopted by subsequent artists.
