50 Cent Returns to Music with Strategic Singles, Not an Album
50 Cent is making his long-awaited return to music, but with a twist. In an interview on Cam’ron’s Talk with Flee, the mogul revealed plans to release new music, marking his first fresh tracks since his 2014 album Animal Ambition. However, the rapper quickly clarified that fans shouldn’t expect a full-length album.
“I’ma make some new music,” 50 said. “But it’ll only be singles.” He explained that his music will be integrated into his various film and television projects, similar to his previous promotional tracks like “Power Powder Respect” and “Wish Me Luck,” which were tied to his hit series Power and BMF.
“Guns N Smoke” Featuring Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, and Eminem
Fans won’t have to wait long to hear from 50 Cent again. This Friday, he’s set to feature on “Guns N Smoke,” a track from Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre’s highly anticipated project Missionary. The song also includes a verse from Eminem, marking the first time Dre, Snoop, 50, and Eminem have all collaborated on a single track.
This release is part of the buildup to Missionary, a project that has generated significant buzz in the hip-hop world, with fans eager to see the iconic lineup back together.
50 Cent Teases Collaboration Process with Dre and Eminem
The collaboration comes as no surprise to fans who’ve followed 50 Cent’s hints over the past year. In a 2022 conversation with Big Boy, he discussed his plans to work with Dr. Dre and Eminem, emphasizing his creative process.
“As soon as I said that, I got a text from [Eminem] that he had already spoken to Dre, and that Dre is in there, and he’s got some crazy stuff for me to go hear,” 50 shared. “This is my process: I’ll go make something, the best music I can put my hands on. And when I feel real good about it, I bring it to put pressure on Dre to offer me something. ’Cause he’ll have something… He’s always had something.”
Final Thoughts
While fans might have to let go of hopes for a new 50 Cent album, the rapper’s pivot to releasing singles strategically tied to his entertainment projects ensures he remains a dominant force in both music and media. With “Guns N Smoke” dropping this Friday, it’s clear that 50 Cent, along with Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, and Eminem, still has plenty to offer the music world.
