50 Cent has announced the release of his upcoming Gangsta Grillz mixtape The Lost Tape with DJ Drama.

The G-Unit honcho, often credited for popularizing mixtapes on a mainstream level in the early ‘00s, is yet to release a project with DJ Drama. He last released  The Big 10 in December 2011, and prior to that, dropped Forever King in July 2009.

Fif is currently recording his oft-delayed fifth album, which is tentatively set for release on July 2nd.
