50 was in London to perform at the city's Wireless Festival on Sunday night. The performance comes ahead of his upcoming Final Lap Tour, which will kick off in Utah on July 21. In addition to the highly-anticipated concerts, 50 also confirmed that he's been in the studio with Dr. Dre, earlier this year, to work on a new album.

“As soon as I said that, I got a text from [Eminem] that he had already spoke to Dre, and that Dre is in there and he got some cr*zy stuff for me to go hear,” he said in an interview with Big Boy’s Neighborhood in January. “This is my process: I’ll go make something, what I can find, the best music that I can put my hands on. And when I feel real good about it, I bring it to put pressure on Dre to offer me something. ‘Cause he’ll have something… He’s always had something.”
