Eminem’s protégé 50 Cent featured in YG’s ‘I Wanna Benz’

California rapper Keenon Daequan Ray Jackson, who is professionally known as YG, released the single “I Wanna Benz” from his second studio album, which is set to be released in 2016. Along with Nipsey Hussle, the single features Eminem’s protégé 50 Cent.

On Dec. 12, Saturday, YG’s “I Wanna Benz” featuring 50 Cent and Hussle debuted on Drake’s “OVO Sound Radio” show on Beats 1, according to Stereo Gum. The single opened with an iconic line from Allen Hughes and Albert Hughes’ 1993 drama film “Menace II Society,” which starred Samuel L. Jackson, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Larenz Tate and Tyrin Turner.

The newly released “I Wanna Benz” single was produced by Atlanta record producer London Holmes, who is professionally known as London on da Track. The single is from YG’s upcoming album “Still Krazy,” which is the follow-up to his debut studio album “My Krazy Life.”

Released on March 18, 2014, “My Krazy Life” featured several artists including Drake, Nicki Minaj, Meek Mill, Kendrick Lamar, Lil Wayne and Ty Dolla $ign. DJ Mustard primarily took care of the production of the album.

“I Wanna Benz” is not the first collaboration between YG and 50 Cent. Along with Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent was featured in the official remix and music video of YG’s commercial debut single “Toot It and Boot It.”

Like YG, 50 Cent is set to release a new album in 2016. His six studio album titled “Street King Immortal” will be released through Capitol Records, G-Unit Records and Caroline Records.

There are still no details about the track listing of the “Street King Immortal” album. It has yet to be confirmed as well whether or not the album will feature another collaboration song between 50 Cent and YG.

In other news, Queens prosecutors have charged Rayesha Brockington with perjury after giving false testimony under oath, New York Daily News has learned. She was the prime witness against Jamal Scott, the man accused of shooting 50 Cent’s late long-time associate Jamal Green, who was also known as Mazaradi Fox.
