50 Cent to unleash its magic!

For the first time in the history of Indian music concerts, a mega and current international artist will perform in Mumbai within two months of his album release worldwide.

Music aficionados are pleased, naturally, because India has always got ageing rockers or current artists to come for concerts two years after releasing their albums or at the fag end of their tours.

But not 50 Cent, who’s gesture of making Mumbai a part of his European concert tour is hugely appreciated and shows the respect the artist would like to accord to his Indian fans.

How does the charismatic hip hop giant, whose first two albums alone sold close to a combined 25 million copies, prosper in the music-downloading era of dwindling rap album sales? 50 Cent continues his amazing streak of three consecutive No. 1 hits on the R&B/Hip Hop, and Pop charts ( In Da Club, 21 Questions, and Candy Shop ), three top three singles ( P.I.M.P., Just A Lil’ Bit, and Disco Inferno ), and 11 Grammy nominations?

Easy. You go back to what first made you a worldwide icon five years ago — before the Hollywood film roles and spoils of celebrity. Just be 50 Cent. “People think I should be uncomfortable,” says a confident 50 of his doubters. “But I’ve accomplished so much from where I come from, that it’s impossible for you to take my smile away from me.”

With his third album Curtis, the superstar is once again anchored by West Coast production deity Dr. Dre and best-selling rhyme icon Eminem. The 17-track Curtis finds 50, for the first time, collaborating with producers and artists outside the G Unit/Shady Records/ Aftermath camp.

“I found a comfort zone that made me willing to work with everyone else and still made an album on my own terms. My reason for naming this album Curtis is I wanted this record to be human,” 50 adds.

So get ready to groove with 50 Cent and the G-unit Brethren featuring Tony Yayo, Whoo Kid & Lloyd Banks and plus a mega multiple LED display which will be supported by some breath taking visual graphics and pulsating sound and high-tech lights which will be part of this show as learnt from our sources.

The tickets are very attractively priced at Rs 1000 and Rs 600 and we recommend that this concert is a must see as without any doubt it is the biggest hip hop concert India will witness in a long time to come.
