50 Cent making wise Business Moves

Towards the end of last year, 50 Cent left his longtime recording home of Interscope Records. Ever since 2007, he had been feuding with the label. Right before he released his Curtis album, 50 Cent said that he would leave Interscope after he released his next album. The situation did not improve and 50 Cent left.

Not only did 50 Cent remove himself from the Interscope roster, but he also removed his G-Unit Records off of the label, too. The question now is where are they moving to. During his time with the major label, Interscope, 50 Cent boasted that he would never record for an independent label.

Ironically, 50 Cent is now looking to land a deal with an independent record label. Now that he no longer has the promotional muscle of Interscope Records, it is up to 50 Cent to promote his artists. He is doing just that, too. Instead of hiring big-name music video directors, 50 Cent is directing the videos, himself.

By removing himself from Interscope Records, 50 Cent feels that he can revive himself, entirely. Now, he is just like many other businessmen, all on his own. For years, he has only had the responsibility to record music and profit off of his artists. Now, everything that Interscope did it is up to him to do. 50 Cent has responded to the challenge and he is setting up an exclusive distribution deal for G-Unit Records. In the meantime, he launched a new film company and he is looking to revive G-Unit Clothing. Last year, his profits were down a bit and 50 Cent is planning to rebuild his entire empire.
