Rapper 50 Cent has decided to become an independent artist leaving
his longtime record label, Universal Music Group's Interscope Records, and
Eminem's imprint, Shady/Aftermath. He stated that his G-Unit Records have
signed a distribution agreement with Caroline, the independent label at Capital
Music Group.
50 Cent launched an ultra-successful, six-times platinum
debut with "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" in 2003, when he burst on the
music scene with Eminem as his mentor. His sophomore album, 2005's "The
Massacre," was almost as successful, but other albums didn't match his
previous efforts and he expressed his unhappiness with his label. 50 Cent had
been planning to release a fifth album on the label, but it was set with
multiple release dates and singles, and eventfully didn't see a release.
