For all those who were hoping 50 Cent would be dropping another solo album later this year, I have bad news for you. 50 Cent’s next album won’t be released until February of 2004.

But fans of the G-Unit click shouldn’t worry because the G-Unit group album “Lock and Load” will be out by this fall. “It will come out in ate September, early October,” 50 Cent told MTV. “The G-Unit album will include me, Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo and Young Buck”. When asked why he will be waiting to release his next solo album 50 said, “I was thinking this November, but I’m gonna wait. I don’t think it (album hype) will be over by then. I still got records I could shoot visuals for. I don’t want to get ahead of myself.”

With 50, Eminem and Busta Rhymes dissing Ja Rule and Murder Inc on “Hail Mary 2003”, 50 sees Ja Rule’s attempt to continue beefing with him as his last stitch effort. “Right now he’s desperate,” 50 says. “He should be talking about me, not Eminem and Dre and everybody else. … He’ll lose, he knows that. The route that he has to take is the ‘I’m a mad gangsta’ hardcore route, and ain’t nobody gonna believe him.”
