50 Cent

Rapper 50 Cent (born Curtis Jackson in 1977) was raised in Southside Jamaica, Queens. His first big break came in 1996 when Run-DMC’s Jam Master Jay signed him to JMJ Records. He was later picked up by Columbia and subsequently dropped after being shot nine times in April 2000. 50 recovered and built a reputation on his stellar bootlegs, one of which made its way into the hands of Eminem, who signed him to a joint Shady Records/Aftermath Records deal in 2002. His debut album, 2003’s Get Rich or Die Tryin’, executive produced by Eminem and Dr. Dre, shot to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.
