50 Cent - 'Hustler's Ambition' (Interscope) Released 30/01/06

Lifted from his uncompromising, explosive movie ‘Get Rich Or Die Tryin’, it’s quite a surprise that our old chum Fiddy is in fairly chilled form with ‘Hustler’s Ambition’. Built around an infectious soulful female vocal sample and a catchy-as-**** chorus, it’s a grooved up, slick outing from 50 Cent spouting dextrous lines like, “America’s got a thing for this gangsta shit, they love me.” How true Fiddy. Perhaps not as strutting or dynamite as some of his other offerings, it’s still an impressive outing and is likely to sell by the shed load.
