Curtis Jackson, aka 50 Cent’s, iconic debut album Get Rich or Die Tryin’, is 20 years old. Stunning, we know. But don’t worry if you somehow forgot how good the record was; the Queens rapper is determined to remind you.
Jackson just announced his plans to celebrate the 20th-anniversary celebration of Get Rich or Die Tryin’ with a massive tour. Dubbed “The Final Lap,” the tour will see the rapper perform 64 shows across North America and Europe.
The initial 64 dates are just the beginning, as more shows are expected to be added soon in Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe.
50 Cent will be joined by fellow New York City rapper Busta Rhymes on all shows, while singer and producer Jeremih will come along for the North American dates. The tour is scheduled to kick off on July 21 in Salt Lake City, with the last show currently being slated for November 12 in Birmingham, UK.
Produced by rap icons Dr. Dre and Eminem, Get Rich or Die Tryin’ is considered one of the best rap albums of all time. It debuted at the top of the US Billboard 200 charts and became the best-selling album in the US in 2003. It also received a nomination for Best Rap Album at the 46th Grammy Awards but lost to Outkast’s Speakerboxxx/The Love Below.
