50 Cent released his mixtape, The Lost Tape, yesterday. Following its release he spoke to AllHipHop to say that his fifth album is dropping July 3rd, with or without a label.
"There’s a lot more business involved [in putting out an album] than the general public is aware of. And that part causes the actual delay with [Interscope]. I’m releasing my album July 3rd, whether is has commercial promotions or not," Fif said. "My birthday is July 6 and I planned for it. And I’m doing everything that I planned to do regardless if its huge airplay or not. I could care less, I’m putting the record out."
The album is untitled as of yet, but supposedly it's completely finished.
"I don’t need a record to sell. How much money you think I’ma make off record sales? You think I’ma sell 13 million records? Its starting to feel like that corner that I left," 50 Cent explained. "I ain’t going to keep sitting on the records. Even if everything ain’t in order, album five will be out July 3 and they can wait another two years for me to give them another one."
Every one of 50's albums has been released via Interscope, since his debut Get Rich Or Die Tryin'.
