After being out of print on vinyl since 2004, Universal Music Enterprises is pleased to reissue 50 Cent's seminal hip-hop debut Get Rich Or Die Tryin' on limited edition platinum picture disc vinyl in celebration of the album's 10th anniversary! "Ten years ago...the hip-hop landscape shifted. 50 Cent, a young upstart from Queens, New York, put the rap game in a chokehold with the release of his debut studio album "Get Rich or Die Tryin'." The album was an audio snapshot of a hustler balancing machismo with romance and vengeance with ego. On "Get Rich or Die Tryin'," 50 pocked gritty street tales with stitched hooks that thawed the iciest of haters, mainstreaming a style popularized by his foe Ja Rule and appropriated to boost his own ascent.
