By this composition the audacious artist afforded himself to speculate on robbing celebrated rappers. While preparing the LP The Power of the Dollar, 50 Cent produced the scandalous single How to Rob. This did not let down 50 Cent as he drew the attention of the New York duet Trackmasters who helped him have an agreement with Columbia Records. It was too early for rubbing hands gleefully as the cooperation turned out to bring no results. He impressed Jay with his rapping and signed his first contract. In 1996, 50 Cent met Jam Master Jay of Run D.M.C. Besides, he already had a son and did want his child left without a father. After the years of street skirmishes and imprisonments, the young man chose rap as a less dangerous, yet quite promising occupation. The occupation seemed to suit him perfectly brining the young outlaw a considerable revenue until the law reached the illegal businessman. Following the examples of his older mates, 50 Cent went into drug business when he was just twelve. His father denied him and left the son under the custody of his grandparents. His mother was a drug dealer and got murdered when the boy was eight. The surroundings of his childhood life would have a great impact on his future activity, and his music in particular. One of the most prominent and equally controversial rappers, 50 Cent, was born Curtis Jackson in the poor area of Queens.
