On November 8th the soundtrack to 50 Cent's 8 Mile-style motion picture debut Get Rich or Die Tryin' hits stores. In addition to 50, the soundtrack features tracks by fellow G Unit rappers Young Buck, Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo as well as Nate Dogg, Mobb Deep and Olivia. 50 appears on all but four of the seventeen tracks.
The first single, "Hustler's Ambition," defines 50's alter ego, Marcus, a poor kid from the Bronx (not 50's Queens) who goes from slinging drugs to spitting rhymes. The second, "Window Shopper," backs a scene where Marcus longs for expensive sneakers. "Every song has something that ties it to the actual film," 50 says of the tracks he wrote to accompany Get Rich.
The album, with production from Dr. Dre and Hi-Tek, also includes a likely third single, "Don't Need No Help," with Young Buck. Says 50, "It's a new version of N.W.A's '******** Tha Police,' with a Southern twist."
The soundtrack for Get Rich is available for pre-order through 50's Web site. The film hits theaters November 9th, the day after the soundtrack's public release. The Xbox game 50 Cent: Bulletproof also hits next month, on November 22nd.
