50 Cent’s G-Unit Records Signs Global Distribution Deal with Capitol/Caroline

50 Cent has verbally made it known on MANY occasions that he was fed up with Interscope and was ready to leave. Well, he’s finally got his wish.

Last week, he announced that him and his label, G-Unit, were no longer on Interscope’s roster. In fact, he has inked a lucrative indie deal with Capitol’s independent services division, Caroline. The new deal will give 50 Cent worldwide distribution and services rights.

This move, however, didn’t damper the relationship he has with Eminem and Dr. Dre. He spoke about them in high regards during a recent press conference.

“I have had great success to date with Shady/Aftermath/Interscope and I’d like to thank Eminem and Dr. Dre for giving me an incredible opportunity. I’ve learned so much from them through the years. I am excited to enter this new era where I can carry out my creative vision,” 50 Cent says via press release.

Eminem even shared his appreciation for 50 Cent and what his career has meant for Shady Records.  50 was signed to Shady/Aftermath/Interscope.

“Both myself and Shady Records are grateful to have had the chance to play a part in 50′s career. Shady simply would not be what it is without 50 Cent. I’ve developed a great friendship with 50 over the years, and that’s not going to change. We know 50 will have success in his new situation, and we remain supporters of both him and G-Unit.”

Under this new agreement, 50 Cent will debut his new album “Animal Ambition” on June 3.  Fans will be able to receive two new songs from the project instantly when they pre-order the album. Starting March 18, 50 Cent will release a new song and video each week leading up to its release.
