Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson has stayed busy since his successful music career that has sold more than 22 million albums.

The rapper has ventured into an array of projects, the most recent one as a boxing promoter.

While simultaneously supporting boxing protégé Yuriorkis Gamboa, 50 Cent also talked about his upcoming album, "Street King Immortal," to be released in February.

SOUNDBITE: Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, rapper and promoter, saying (English):

"Most artists that have a successful career or long one, find themselves in competition with the material they've created. You don't get a second chance at a first impression, but to kind of reinvent something that's relevant enough for another time period will be the task and goal for everyone involved."

He said fans will likely compare his new album to his 2003 debut, "Get Rich or Die Tryin'."
