    The album is a welcomed return for 50, who sounds like his hiatus didn’t affect his ability to create his signature street records.

    The animal spin on Get Rich or Die Tryin’. 50 Cent attacks with that mindset on his 5th album, and it’s a solid entry in a very up and down career (in music at least).

It starts with the cold and hard-hitting Hold On, and follows with the catchy club banger Don't Worry Bout It (ft. Yo Gotti). Pilot features an uptempo beat and 50 spitting a catchy hook which turns out great. Smoke (ft. Trey Songz) sounds like a hit and makes you wanna party each time you hear it. This album is well balanced and entertaining. Club Hits like: Don't Worry Bout It, Pilot, Smoke. And Street Hard Hitters Like: Hold On, Everytime I Come Around, Irregular Heartbeat, Chase The Paper, Funeral, and Flip ON You. Amazing album and its just a PREVIEW to his big album STREET KING IMMORTAL… Full Review »

    It's different from what 50 have done earlier, but the album also got those songs with the little more 'gangsta' vibe to it like "Hold On" and "Irregular Heartbeat" alongside with "Chase the Paper".
