In a move that has seemed almost imminent over the course of the last few years, 50 Cent has officially announced his departure from Interscope Records. After 12 long and successful years from which we have gotten albums like Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ and The Massacre, as of recently, 50 has struggled to hold down a release date for a new album. Even with singles featuring Adam Levine, Eminem, and Kendrick Lamar, a new look for Curtis was soon coming, as 50 has been quite vocal about the lack of support and his disappointment with Interscope not giving him a “proper push”.
Upon the same announcement however, 50 Cent has also announced that he will be taking himself and his G-Unit imprint over to Capitol Music Group under their Independent Services Division known as Caroline. Capitol and Caroline are both under the label umbrella over at Universal Music Group. With this announcement, we will finally (hopefully) see 50′s newest project, Animal Ambition, on shelves June 3rd, an album which Curtis says has been completed for quite some time. After selling more than 30 million albums, we officially are looking at an “independent” 50 Cent. Check out the jump to see official statements from all parties involved.
Animal Ambition will be available for pre-order on March 18th and comes with two tracks upon your preorder. Hit the comments section and let us know what you think of 50 Cent’s new deal.
