SANTA MONICA, CA April 23, 2007 - On "Curtis", his third major label album, rapper 50 Cent gives noquarter. As hard and brutally honest, yet musical and entertaining, as his first two albums - each of themNumber 1 Pop, Number 1 R&B/Hip-hop and at least seven times platinum - 50 Cent (AKA Curtis Jackson) tells itlike it is on Curtis and makes the resulting controversy pay as he heads... Straight to the Bank, the title ofthe album's first street track.
Curtis(Shady/Aftermath/Interscope), releasing September 11th, 2007, features guest appearances by Eminem,Akon, Justin Timberlake, Mary J. Blige, Robin Thicke, and Nicole Scherzinger from the Pussycat Dolls.
Curtis continues 50 Cent's phenomenal rise from the mean streets. His official debut album, 2003's Get RichOr Die Tryin, sold 872,000 units in the first four days of its release, making it the fastest-selling debut discin the SoundScan era (since 1991). The album was the biggest seller of 2003 and is currently ten times platinumworldwide. Later that year, The New Breed, a DVD with a bonus CD including new songs, charted Number 2 Pop andNumber 1 R&B/Hip-Hop. His second album, 2005's The Massacre, was the second biggest-selling album of theyear and is now seven-times platinum worldwide.
Since he first dropped his bombs on the music world, 50 has earned 11 Grammy nominations, from Best NewArtist to Best Rap Album for each of his first two efforts. Attesting to his worldwide popularity, Get Rich OrDie Tryin' hit Number 2 in the U.K. and Number 1 in Australia while The Massacre went Number 1 in both thosecountries, Number 2 in Sweden, and is the biggest-selling rap album in India, where it has been certified doubleplatinum, selling more than 2,000,000 copies.
Back in the U.S., 50 has scored three singles claiming the Number 1 spot across the charts - R&B/Hip-hop, Rap, and Pop. In Da Club, Candy Shop, and 21 Questions (featuring Nate Dogg). Three more went Top 3 acrossthe board: P.I.M.P., Just A Lil Bit and Disco Inferno. Yet another four were Rap Top 10's: Wanksta, OuttaControl (Remix), Window Shopper and Best Friend. Four of the above have been certified digital gold: In Da Club,Candy Shop,P.I.M.P. and Disco Inferno.
