50 Cent has finally set a release date for his long awaited fifth album this July
The Candy Shop star will release the long delayed Five (Murder By Numbers) on July 3.
It has been almost 3 years since the rapper’s last album Before I Self Destruct. 50 explained to Philadelphia radio station Hot 107.9 the reason for the delay.
He said; ''I said I was gonna put a record out that was completely up to album standard, and I'm gonna do that. I worked on this album for a long time. It's been three years.''
50, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, added that his turbulent relationship with Interscope records also contributed to the delay of the record, which was originally to be titled Black Magic.
He added: ''Labels, at different points, they drop the ball. It's not visible when the momentum is feverish. For me, with Interscope, all the success I've had in music has been with them.''
