50 Cent is gearing up to release his 5th solo album Black Magic later this year and in an interview with Detroit News, he says he’s been listening to 2Pac and the Notorious B.I.G. for inspiration.
“I listen to those records to create expectations. It creates a level to me, within myself, of how good the record has to be before I’m ready to launch it.”
He has described the sound on the new album as ‘more soulful & ‘more mature’ than his past work and he seems in no hurry to launch the project:
“When I rush, it’s not my best. And then I get a response that isn’t the best.”
His The Invitation tour kicks off tomorrow in Cleveland while he’ll be performing at the Chene Park in Detroit on Saturday.
Thanks to ZV for the heads up.
