50 Cent goes retro gangster in 'Hustler'
50 Cent will be releasing his highly anticipated new album 'Animal Ambition' on June 3rd 2014 and has unveiled a brand new song entitled 'Hustler'. The rapper will also be releasing another album later this year, 'Street King Immortal'.
One thing that's particularly evident when looking at 50 Cent's career is that the man hustles. From his days on the corner to his music industry grind and business ventures, there's no arguing that Fif's work ethic is relentless. His latest release follows that theme.
His latest single "Hustler," which premiered Monday afternoon on New York's Hot 97 radio station, finds 50 channeling his roots. "My mind on the money, I ain't trippin' on the h--s/ I blow a whole lot of paper on clothes/ Can you dig it? I'm a hustler, baby," he rhymes on the chorus.
The track clocks in at just over three minutes long, but it's not needed more to have an impact.
"Stack paper like I'm tryna fix the national debt", he brags in the first verse and later follows up with a slick-talking outro: "It's cold out here. It's my kind of weather; I'm cold-blooded".
The video for the song, directed by Eif Rivera, is a black and white version and it finds 50 Cent in a retro gangster style, complete with visual effects to make it look like his own short film. His cigar, fedora and full suit definitely complete the look.
"Hustler" is the sixth song released in Fif's weekly series. Past joints include "Pilot" and the Dr. Dre-produced, Trey Songz-assisted "Smoke" and it's all leading up to the release of his fifth solo album, Animal Ambition, on June 3.
