50 Cent, born Curtis Jackson, is a wildly successful American rapper and actor. His music career began in the mid-1990s with his first album, Get Rich or Die Tryin', which was released in 2003. This album not only put him on the map, but also earned him his first Grammy. His singles have since sold over 30 million copies around the world and in 2020 he was nominated for a Grammy for Best Rap Performance.

Born in South Jamaica, Queens, New York, 50 Cent was no stranger to violence and drug abuse that plagued the neighborhood. At the age of eight, his mother may have been murdered by an unknown assailant, leaving 50 Cent to live with his grandparents. During this time, the young artist hustled on the streets, selling drugs and rapping on the side to make extra money. After finding himself in constant trouble with the law, he decided to take music seriously.
