Artist and label transition to independent status after 12 years with Shady Records/Aftermanth Entertainment/Interscope Records


50 Cent announced today that he has signed an exclusive worldwide distribution and services agreement with Caroline/Capitol/UMG. The superstar recording artist transitions to independent status after a successful twelve years at Shady/Aftermath/Interscope, during which time he sold more than 30 million albums. 50 Cent's highly successful catalog, including Get Rich or Die Tryin', The Massacre, Curtis and Before I Self Destruct, will continue to be marketed and released by Shady/Aftermath/Interscope.
The artist's first album under the new agreement will be Animal Ambition, scheduled for release on June 3rd. Album pre-orders will begin on March 18th and fans will immediately receive two instant gratification tracks and the corresponding videos will premiere online. An additional song and video will launch each week leading up to the album's release.

According to Caroline President Dominic Pandiscia, "We are thrilled to welcome 50 Cent and G-Unit to our family. 50 is simply one of the most accomplished and creative artists, and his plans for the future are as exciting and innovative as you can imagine. I deeply thank him for his belief in our team and what we can do to help support his creative vision in the years to come. I'd also like to thank everyone at Shady/Aftermath and Interscope, particularly Eminem and Dr. Dre, for offering their endorsement and support of our involvement with 50 Cent and G-Unit. They've done an incredible job these past 12 years, and we've got a great legacy of label partnership to build on."
50 Cent commented, "I have had great success to date with Shady/Aftermath/Interscope and I'd like to thank Eminem and Dr. Dre for giving me an incredible opportunity. I've learned so much from them through the years. I am excited to enter this new era where I can carry out my creative vision."

Eminem stated, "Both myself and Shady Records are grateful to have had the chance to play a part in 50's career. Shady simply would not be what it is without 50 Cent. I've developed a great friendship with 50 over the years, and that's not going to change. We know 50 will have success in his new situation, and we remain supporters of both him and G-Unit."

According to Steve Berman, Vice Chairman of Interscope/Geffen/A&M, "50 Cent is, and always will be, a marquee artist for us at Interscope/Geffen/A&M. We respect his decision to pursue this new venture and the next chapter in his career, and wish him nothing but the best. He will always be a part of our family."

Singin' "Bagpipes from Baghdad" again
In my dad's drag draggin' a faggot in a Glad bag
Won't be the last time I make a dramatic entrance like that again
You thought I was lyin' when I said I think that I'm crossin' the line again
I've lost my mind, caution oh God I think I've just thought of another fucking line
Forgive me father, for I have sinned
But hip hop has left me brainwashed with a violent streak

I always loved that tbh.

GggGGgGGGg-uniit

For some reason when I say that in my head the next thing I instantly think of is, "damn baby all I need is a little bit..." lol Even though he says that in a ton of songs

Lol, first thing on my mind was "Cuz we came here to set this party off right...".

Anyway, good decision for Fifty.

I would have left too tbh

Interscope is one of the worst motherfucking labels ever. Don't premote artists that aren't huge, and drop them when they sell poorly.
Or in 50's case, hold you back with constant delays smh.

Good move Fif. Waiting for the album :y:

Not a fan of 50, but this is probably the best move for his career.

great news. it is sad if you think about the history between them. now fifty can actually put out some official music. instead of releasing tracks/mixtapes right to the internet. :y: :y: :y: :y:

the whole " Shady Records " idea is kinda fucked up, imo.
Fifty did make a great move on this one, hopefully we'll get some dope stuff from him now. :y:

I have it from a very reliable inside source that they forced 50 Cent to leave so that they could re-sign Ca$his.
