50 Cent has once again pushed back his fourth solo album, Before I Self Destruct. The album is now scheduled to hit shelves in November 3rd after being changed from its September 29th release date.
Fifty originally planned on releasing the album in 2007, but decide to release the CD Curtis first. When Curtis hit stores, Fif said he would put out Before I Self Destruct in 2008, but after taking a more serious approach to his acting career, the G-Unit general delayed his album for more than a year. The first single from the album, Get Up, was produced by Scott Storch and was released in October 2008.
The second single I Get It In, was produced by Dr. Dre and released in January of this year. The albums third single, Okay Your Right, was also produced by Dre. When the album finally drops in November, it will be over a year after the first single was released.
No word on whether 50 Cent
will include the year old singles on the album but in a recent
interview he spoke about his last studio album under his current
Interscope contract.
"I
had an opportunity to make it and then re-make it. I didn't have the
time I was able to put in to, I was limited time to my other projects.
In this one just because the system was in this kinda state of
confusion with things changing, the music business itself changed. It
was definitely periods where I felt I was ready and it wasn't a
possibility for me to release the record at that point and then the Eminem train came running down the track and I had to get outta the way to let the Eminem
record go out and then because he had been off for two years, it made
good sense for me to just let him come out first. My new album, it
should be out in early November. First week of November. Because I had
additional time, I wrote, produced and directed my own film, Before I Self Destruct and it'll actually be within the album's packaging. So when you buy the record, you'll get the film that I wrote."
