50 Cent opens up about returning to music, reuniting with Dr. Dre for his next album, and collaborations with Eminem and Nas.

50 Cent wasn’t joking when he said he was going to return to music this year. The Power mogul put more of his effort into television and mentoring up-and-coming rappers recently. However, the 20th anniversary of his debut album, Get Rich Or Die Tryin’, and recent RIAA certifications put a battery in his back. He revealed earlier this year that he was going to return to music and deliver some heat. 

He explained that he wanted to return to music following his 2022 international tour dates. “I get the attention that I want from music when I want it,” he told Billboard. “I just went out and toured 45 countries, and everywhere was sold out. That made me want to offer new music that I could integrate into everything now,” he added. Fif will also be hitting the road later this year for his first tour in 13 years. It’s going to be a busy year for Fif between the numerous television projects and an anticipated album.

50 Cent On Collabs With Dr. Dre, Nas, and Eminem

The television mogul opened up about his working relationship with Dr. Dre, who will produce Fif’s next album. He detailed a lengthy process of refining his work in the studio to satisfy Dre’s ear. However, he credits Dre for understanding his creative direction each time. “I would write the record to break the ice, and we’d have something playing like [Dre] just got here even if he’s been here two or three hours and we got a record playing. He will change the drums and everything that you got there until you got something that’s a hit record,” he explained.

Fif apparently already has a few collaborations in the works already alongside revered legends. Billboard reports that Eminem already sent him new records to collaborate on, while Nas reached out for a feature on his next Hit-Boy-produced project. “He is now working on a studio album with Dr. Dre, Eminem has sent him new songs to collaborate on, and Nas has tapped him for a feature on his forthcoming King’s Disease 4,” Billboard’s Carl Lamarre stated. Hopefully, a new single comes soon. We'll keep you posted on anymore updates from Fif.
