Via a video drop on 50 Cent’s official YouTube page, the rapper revealed the release date at a concert in Albany for his fourth studio album, Before I Self Destruct.

The album will be released on December 9, only seven days before Kanye West drops his new album, 808’s & Heartbreak.

During the concert footage that was posted via YouTube, the G-Unit honcho surprisingly mocked Kanye by performing Ye’s new album single, “Love Lockdown,” which Kanye performed at the MTV VMA’s last Sunday (September 7).

Before I Self Destruct will feature production from Swizz Beatz, Ty Fyffe, Timbaland, Rich Harrison, J.R. Rotem and Play-n-Skillz, while 50 along with Sha Money XL will play the role of executive producer.

To date, “How To Rob, PT. 2” is the only track confirmed to be included on the new album.

The first single from Before I Self Destruct is yet to be debuted.

no doc dre on production?

you gotta be able to still push units to get Dre on it lol, 50 cant push anymore units just look at the last Gunit album!

Weak... Another beef for another album. Change the formula... Ugh...

if they think they're going to boost album sales by doing this...then what can i say...it might just work again...

its all about boosting sales, "creating an event, something where fans will wanna participate by buying the albums"
