Last week, 50 Cent revealed that he was already recording his fifth studio album, Black Magic. Following the failures of his past two albums, 50 Cent is changing things up for this album. He said that the tracks that he recorded for the album have a techno feel to them. The rest of the album will carry this trend on.
50 Cent has given more teasers for the album today. Unlike other rappers going into begin their fifth album, 50 has yet to make a significant change. Most rappers constantly evolve, but 50 Cent has remained the same. The only thing that has changed is that he raps about having money as opposed to a lack thereof.
For his latest album, however, 50 Cent told Tim Westwood that he wants to go outside of the box. 50 said that he wants to write rap lyrics to nontraditional beats. He feels that his album will be a total success if he is able to do this. The hip hop community has come to love rap lyrics over nontraditional beats.
50 Cent hopes to release Black Magic before the end of thus year. Off of Interscope Records, 50 Cent is searching for an independent distribution deal for G-Unit Records.
