50 Cent almost done with New Album

Last summer, 50 Cent surprised fans when he said he may search for independent distribution for G-Unit Records. At the time 50 had told his artists, Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo, to begin working on new albums. He felt hot music coming from the label would lead to them landing secure distribution.

For most of the summer, it appeared G-Unit was headed to a lucrative deal with Def Jam. 50 Cent made it appear that way and he began recording his album. At the time, 50 Cent said the album would feature Techno elements. With that, he also said the new album would be released late in 2010.

But, 50 Cent did not complete the album in time as he was working on new business ventures. Instead of Def Jam, G-Unit Records entered a distribution deal with EMI Records. The deal helped bolster a label that has struggled with hip hop music since the days of MC Hammer. Along with that, 50 Cent began working on the album again.

Last week, 50 Cent began talking about his new album again. He said that he is close to being done with the new album after he said he had scrapped the entire thing.
