50 Cent Fights Back After New Album Before I Self Destruct Leaks Almost a
Month Before Its Expected Official Release
DIGITAL RELEASE NOW MOVED UP TO NOVEMBER 9, PHYSICAL RELEASE TO NOVEMBER 16

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Nov. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Responding to the extraordinarily
early leak of 50 Cent's entire fourth studio album, Before I Self Destruct
(Shady/Aftermath/Interscope), the highly explosive album will now release
digitally on November 9th and in physical form will be available in stores on
November 16th.

"You expect your album to leak at some point," said 50 Cent. "But this
happened almost a month before we were going to let it out. And it's not just
a track here and there that might hype the album. What's going on is
ridiculous and it's hurting every music artist. So, for my fans, I'm doing
everything possible to get them the real album, with as many bonuses and
extras as I can, ASAP."

Before I Self Destruct is currently available for digital pre-order
exclusively on iTunes (www.itunes.com). Pre-order consumers will receive the
exclusive track "Man's World" in addition to what post-release date iTunes
consumers will receive -- the "Baby By Me" single; the bonus track "Flight
187"; the gritty coming-of-age Before I Self Destruct film written, directed
and starring Curtis Jackson (aka 50 Cent); the "Two Turntables And A
Microphone: The Life And Death Of Jam Master Jay" documentary about 50 Cent's
late mentor and friend, hip-hop pioneer Jam Master Jay of Run-DMC; exclusive
photos; animated package artwork and other surprises. The physical 1CD/2DVD
package offered at retail will also include the Before I Self Destruct film
and Jam Master Jay documentary.
