50 Cent’s label, Interscope Records released a press release, stating that the rapper’s new LP, “Before I Self Destruct,” originally slated for December 16th release, will drop early 2009!

Interscope says the artist was “rushing” to meet the December date but “with the deadline to secure advertising and retail placement for the album imminent,” the rapper opted to wait until next year.

The album boasts production and guest turns from mentors Dr. Dre and Eminem; producer Scott Storch helmed first single “Get Up.”

“Before I Self Destruct” will be bundled with a full-length feature film of the same name, in which 50 Cent plays a budding basketball star who becomes a criminal after his mother’s murder.

Early pressings of the album will also include a second DVD with the documentary “Two Turntables And A Microphone: The Life & Death of Jam Master Jay,” which 50 Cent executive produced.

50 Cent’s fourth studio album and film “Before I Self Destruct” has been pushed back one week from December 9th to December 16th, Rap-Up.com can confirm.

The album is 50’s last work of original material under his current contract with Interscope Records. “Before I Self-Destruct” will now go up against albums from Plies, Bow Wow, Soulja Boy, and Keyshia Cole.

Hip-Hop model Angel “Lola Luv” Fershgenet is furthering her career in film with a co-starring movie role with G-Unit front man 50 Cent.

Fershgenet confirmed her work with the rapper during a recent interview with Blok TV.

Although she didn’t specify details surrounding the project, the model/actress revealed that the feature, titled “Before I Self Destruct,” is being produced and directed by 50 Cent, who also stars in the movie with Clifton Powell.

According to Fershgenet, the movie will be released “probably by the end of this year.” “Before I Self Destruct” is one of a string of projects on deck for Fershgenet.

In addition to modeling, the rap video fixture is embarking on a career as an artist in the world of music.

When asked to describe her foray into music, Fershgenet stated that she would pursue rapping rather than singing.

“I got too much swagger to do anything else anyway,” she said smiling.

Fershgenet’s new rap ambitions comes after her first film “Crazy Like a Fox,” debuted earlier this month at the 12th Annual American Black film Festival (ABFF) in Los Angeles.

Although she doesn’t have a single coming out right now, Fershgenet did confirm that fans will get a musical offering from her before the end of the year.

“I’m working on my mixtape….I’m doing it all. I’m versatile,” she said, “So definitely doing it all. Modeling, acting, music. All.”

In addition to working with Fershgenet on “Before I Self Destruct,” 50 Cent will be seen alongside big screen icons Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro in the upcoming film Righteous Kill, which is slated to hit theaters on September 12.

Hip-hop honeys, dime pieces, video vixens. We’re referring to the girls who provide the “bootylicious” eye candy in hip-hop and R&B music videos. There are a special few hip-hop honeys who form an elite group of women who have made careers out of appearing in these videos. Most of them hope to jump-start acting or modeling careers, and every so often one of them goes on to make a name for herself for something other than shaking it on camera.

Here are 10 of the hottest and most successful hip-hop honeys to shake their rumps on the small screen.

Number 5: Angel
Angel is considered to be 50 Cent’s newest protege, and has already earned a massive following. She regularly appears on the pages of XXL, KING and Black Men, but most of her fans know her from appearances in videos by 50 Cent, Busta Rhymes, Young Jeezy, and Lloyd Banks. Angel was born in Ethiopia, but raised in Washington, D.C., where she was discovered.

Angel’s manager, Michelle, just sent me an email to let everyone know that Angel is not posing for Playboy. Apparently, a fake profile was created on vox.com of Angel and on that profile it was stated that they are a playboy model, who titled herself “Playboy’s miss may babe.”

Once again, Angel is not posing for Playboy and will not be “Babe of the Month” in the May issue.

Thank you Michelle for clearing this up!
