He then moves with swagger into his new office and drops himself into his leather armchair as he shows us his new album of “Get rich or try dying”, ready for release in a week.
10 years ago it wasn’t all luxury for Curtis Jackson. Born on the mean streets of Croydon, he was motherless at the age of 15 and living in a broke down flat. Curtis tells us “My mother was my inspiration to music when she died I had nothing and lost my love for music”. He was paying for his flat by selling crack and thieving up state houses.
This criminal life finally caught up with Curtis Jackson and he was finally sentenced to four years of jail for the distribution of drugs. During this sentence Curtis Jackson reinserted his himself with the love of music. Telling me “Prison might have been hell but it inspired me to write my first single of “Shut em up”. When Curtis Jackson was release on the 30th January 2004 he didn’t just leave behind a life of crime but generated a new name. This name was to be 50 quid. Months after leaving prison, 50 quid’s sell mate and now manager introduced him to Jay Records. His first album of “shut em up” was a hit selling around 500,000 copies. It wasn’t all smiles for 50 quid; even though 50 had left the criminal life behind, it wasn’t too happy about leaving him. On the eve of getting ready to produce his new single “Power of the Dollar”, he was shot.
50 quid suffered 9 bullet wounds spending 6 months in physical therapy to recover. 50 said “I thought this was the end maybe there is a purpose in life for me”. During the end of his treatment 50 was able to right his new album of “Guess who’s back”. This was 50s biggest hit to date selling around 2 million copies world wide heading straight to number one in 4 different countries. Due to this large selling other artist really took notice of 50 and seen him as a threat in the rapping world. Artist like dr green and professor dre described his single as incredible and it will be something to live up to. Professor Dre even went and personally brought him over to the USA to get him signed by his label Columbian records. 5o quid has been presented with a $1 million record deal and in 1 week will be presenting the world with his new album get rich or try dying.
50 quid tells us how his life was the inspiration behind his new album of “Get rich try Dying” telling me “to get a head in life you need to do anything you can no object or person should stop you not even the law, you get me G” .Getting first hand experience when 50 let us listen to the track of “Get rich try dying”, I can honestly say it is incredible and it will be going down in the history of the rapping world. I personally recommend you to purchase this album in a week today as I will be one of the first in line to purchase this newly generated album to the music industry. 50 and label boss professor dre believe this album is going to make 50 a legend, it is better than anything out there.

“Man or machine” says Reggie Yates.
“50 Quid is the most hyped up rap artist in about a decade. He is taking rap to a new level, the single of Get rich or try dying has a dark synth grooves, buzzy keyboards and a persistently funky bounce” with Jackson complementing the production in “an unflappable, laid-back flow. He is relating to the methods of other artist like y-unit. 50 Quid has also had an extraordinary life in doing what ever it takes to earn a living, beating the most inhumanly obstacles and coming out on top. 5o Quid has a huge part in the history of the rapping world and I believe we will be seeing many more of him as he will be revisiting the UK on his world wide tour. This tour will be installing his new album of “get rich try dying” and it should not be missed.

Due to this tragic event at such a young age Curtis Jackson wasn’t able to buy the clothing his mother had provided for him. This forced Curtis Jackson to follow his mother’s footsteps into a life of crime, spending hour’s on street corners selling crack and raiding houses for thievery, doing what ever it takes to get a head in life.
On the 5th of January 1999 Curtis Jackson was arrested for the distribution of drugs. Within this sentence Curtis Jackson dedicated his time to his rapping career.

Things i wish to impove on my second draft of my front cover
When I redraft my music magazine on the computer I wish to Change the colour scheme to white, red, and black. Rather than using so many colours as it makes it look a little bit messy. Transform the title of EMCEEING TO MCING. Get rid of this as the image isn’t making the front cover look any better. Also Change the layout of the magazine due to the writing obscuring the image.
