It's a new day and bright future for 50 Cent. The G-Unit mogul has inked a worldwide distribution deal for himself and G-Unit Records with Caroline/Capitol/UMG.
The move gives 50 more control over when his music is released and provides a rock solid foundation for his existing roster of artists, as well as the ones he will sign in the future.
Read the full press release below via PRNewsWire.
SANTA MONICA, Calif., Feb. 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- 50 Cent announced today that he has signed an exclusive worldwide distribution and services agreement with Caroline/Capitol/UMG. The superstar recording artist transitions to independent status after a successful twelve years at Shady/Aftermath/Interscope, during which time he sold more than 30 million albums. 50 Cent's highly successful catalog, including Get Rich or Die Tryin', The Massacre, Curtis and Before I Self Destruct, will continue to be marketed and released by Shady/Aftermath/Interscope.
The artist's first album under the new agreement will be Animal Ambition, scheduled for release on June 3rd. Album pre-orders will begin on March 18th and fans will immediately receive two instant gratification tracks and the corresponding videos will premiere online. An additional song and video will launch each week leading up to the album's release.
According to Caroline President Dominic Pandiscia, "We are thrilled to welcome 50 Cent and G-Unit to our family. 50 is simply one of the most accomplished and creative artists, and his plans for the future are as exciting and innovative as you can imagine. I deeply thank him for his belief in our team and what we can do to help support his creative vision in the years to come. I'd also like to thank everyone at Shady/Aftermath and Interscope, particularly Eminem and Dr. Dre, for offering their endorsement and support of our involvement with 50 Cent and G-Unit. They've done an incredible job these past 12 years, and we've got a great legacy of label partnership to build on."
50 Cent commented, "I have had great success to date with Shady/Aftermath/Interscope and I'd like to thank Eminem and Dr. Dre for giving me an incredible opportunity. I've learned so much from them through the years. I am excited to enter this new era where I can carry out my creative vision."
Eminem stated, "Both myself and Shady Records are grateful to have had the chance to play a part in 50's career. Shady simply would not be what it is without 50 Cent. I've developed a great friendship with 50 over the years, and that's not going to change. We know 50 will have success in his new situation, and we remain supporters of both him and G-Unit."
According to Steve Berman, Vice Chairman of Interscope/Geffen/A&M, "50 Cent is, and always will be, a marquee artist for us at Interscope/Geffen/A&M. We respect his decision to pursue this new venture and the next chapter in his career, and wish him nothing but the best. He will always be a part of our family."

Drizzy was rocking the house at Metropolitan club with Diddy standing next to him when he snatched the Bad Boy mogul's mic out of his hand and dropped his own to the floor.
Did Drake's mic go dead, or is he a stage hog?

Suge Knight was a guest on The Arsenio Hall Show. The former Death Row Records CEO explains what happened at the weed shop in California when he punched a man in the face.
Suge went on to discuss artists like D.O.C., The Game and Kendrick Lamar, who in his opinion got bad record deals.
"If you look at Interscope, the 2 guys from Compton, Game and Kendrick Lamar got 2 of the worst deals in the industry," Suge said. "And when you look at it, it's not so much the production company's fault. But what people don't realize is that Universal is the ship Then Interscope get their cut. Then Aftermath get their cut. Then G-Unit get their cut. Then another production company. Then [what was left] came to Game. Then with Kendrick Lamar it was the guy who put the deal together. In reality, it's more slavery now than ever. When you was a slave you was like, 'sh*t, it's bad.' But it's worse when somebody make you be a celebrity and put you on a status and you're like thanking a person for stabbing you in the back."
Basically, The Game wasn't making any money while signed to Interscope/Aftermath. He's out of the contract now so maybe he learned a lesson. As far as Kendrick, Suge didn't fully explain his deal. so it's hard to say where he stands contractually.

In the fifth episode of Chiraq, we step outside of drill music and catch up with Chicago rapper Vic Mensa and the rest of his SAVEMONEY crew. They spend the day gathering cash to bail fellow rapper Joey Purp out of jail, and on the way we chat about the city's scene. Vic doesn't associate himself with the Chiraq lifestyle because he feels it's too negative, but understands the struggles of those who come from that part of the city. He's also, surprisingly, a really big fan of Rage Against the Machine.

Video footage obtained by TMZ heavily suggests that Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice knocked his fiancee, Janay Palmer, unconscious during a fight between the two at Revel Casino in Atlantic City on Saturday (February 15).
Janay Palmer and Ray Rice
Rice's attorney, Andrew Alperstein, initially told The Baltimore Sun that that the incident was a "very minor physical altercation."
The Atlantic City Police Department arrested both Rice and Palmer and charged them with simple assault-domestic violence, before releasing them.
The police report reads in part:
On Saturday February 15, 2014 at 2:51am Atlantic City Police responded to Revel Casino for a domestic dispute. Uniformed Officer Cuong Sam and Officer Bryon Hargis met Revel Security at the porte-cochere and were escorted to both parties involved in the incident. The male and female involved were identified as Raymell Rice and Janay A. Palmer. After reviewing surveillance footage it appeared both parties were involved in a physical altercation. The complaint summons indicates that both Rich [sic] and Palmer struck each other with their hands. The responding officer signed a simple assault complaint against both Rice and Palmer.
Both Ms. Palmer and Mr. Rice refused any medical attention as no injuries were reported by either party. The couple were transported to the Atlantic City Police Department holding facility and charged with Simple Assault-Domestic Violence. They were both released on a summons to appear in court.
Rumors have been flying that the fight was more serious than reported, and that Rice knocked Palmer out with an uppercut. The video footage makes a compelling case that could be true
Michael Diamondstein, who also represents Rice legally told TMZ that his client won't be put on trial by the media.
"Neither Ray nor myself will try this case in the media. However, the video that's being posted by TMZ Sports is not the complete event, but is merely the end result of what transpired. We'll assure the public that when this matter is fully tried and completed, you'll have a better understanding of what happened and we ask the public to reserve making any judgment until all of the facts come out."
Roger Goodell
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is likely to get involved at some point. According to The Baltimore Sun, the league is reviewing the situation under the NFL personal-conduct policy
Goodell has a history of disciplining players, including suspending them for bad off the field conduct.
