50 Cent called into Monterey, California radio station 102.5 KDON recently to talk to Eric The Funky 1. He opened up about the features on his upcoming album Street King Immortal.
"[People] can expect me, Eminem... I did a song with Chris Brown on the record, Trey Songz," 50 said. "I did a song with Ne-Yo. In the process I recorded with half of [the] music culture. I worked with everybody. In the past I hadn't reached out to artists and worked with them as much because 'Get Rich or Die Tryin' didn't have anyone that wasn't in house."
Erik congratulated 50 on the enormous success of Get Rich or Die Tryin, and said that when he throws on "In Da Club" it still gets the crowds pumping in the nightclubs almost 10 years later.
The conversation then shifted to 50's new movie Freelancers. The G-Unit boss talked about how great it was to get the chance to work with Forest Whitaker and Robert De Niro.
"I always wanted to keep myself associated with projects that have artistic integrity that I can be proud of, " 50 explained. "And having two Academy Award winning actors around me in the actual picture, you can't have more support than that."
Other topics covered included Street King energy drink, SMS Audio headphones, his workout routine and his upcoming fitness book Formula 50, which will be released on December 27 via iTunes andHardcover.

50 Cent has had an amazing rise to fame and fortune. From a young street hustler to becoming one of the biggest rap stars and businessmen on the planet.
His life story is now being told in a new comic book titled 'Fame 50.'
Check out the full press release below.
Catapulted from the underground New York rap scene to a multi-platinum recording artist, 50 Cent reveals his many identities in an upcoming Bluewater Productions biography comic book based on his life and career.
Scheduled for an July 2011 release, “Fame: 50 Cent” follows the unknown Curtis James Jackson III as he crafted a hip hop persona and began his climb up the music charts with monster rap hits like “In Da Club” and “How We Do.” The issue also addresses his drug-dealing and violent past, his well-documented public feuds with other rap culture figures as well as his lesser known years as a young up and coming boxer, his current title of entrepreneur and the one identity that changed his life-that of doting father.
“50 Cent, no doubt, has enjoyed a colorful, extraordinary and sometimes sordid life.” said writer Dan Rafter. “Despite a broken home life and early run-ins with the law he found his niche. You don't sell 11 million records if you don't have some talent and market savvy; he's got plenty of both.”
“Fame: 50 Cent,” will also feature cover art by famed DC comic book artist Joe Phillips. The interior art was illustrated by J. Bruce Bogle. The issue will retail for $3.99 and be available through most online venues like Amazon.com as well as local comic book stores.

The comic allows Bluewater to delve into the celebrity culture and understand how a person rises to fame, deals with the new-found celebrity and continue to produce in the public eye. That includes actors, sports figures, recording artists and royals.
