Before I Self Destruct is the fourth studio album by rapper 50 Cent, his final solo release in his current contract with Interscope Records, excluding a “greatest hits” album. The pressure is on 50 Cent. After losing a very public sales battle with Kanye West, he has promised that Before I Self Destruct, his fourth studio album, will revolutionize hip-hop, it will be the culminating statement of the first phase of his music career, and that it is a companion piece to his first feature directing effort. 50 Cent has described Before I Self Destruct as “darker and more aggressive,” with fewer guest appearances and a concept that will set the next phase of his musical career. “Get Up,” the first single from the album, was produced by Scott Storch.
《Before I Self Destruct》會在今年12月9日推出,根據Billboard得到的訊息,這張專輯將是這位說唱歌手在Interscope唱片公司旗下的最後一張專輯。根據他和Interscope2003年簽下的契約,他在這家唱片公司旗下會發行四張專輯和一張精選,現在他已經出版了《Get Rich Or Die Tryin’》、《The Massacre》、《Curtis》。
同時今年50 Cent還會出版一本書叫做《The 50 Laws of Power》,該書也是50對Robert Greene寫的《The 48 Laws of Power》(權力法則48條)一書作的改寫
