50 Cent

50 Cent is to write a new book, and is teaming up with author Robert Green to work on it.

The pair will collaborate to release the book, entitled The 50th law. The rapper, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, recently launched a range of books under his G-Unit brand, which was combined with MTV's Pocket Book range.

Jackson explained the concept behind the new book: "(It will) capture and create a visible parallel between street life and corporate America standards and structure."

Author Green added that the rapper was the perfect inspiration for the job: "We are living through chaotic times; the standard models for success in business and life don't work so well anymore. 50, as the consummate strategist of the street and boardroom, exemplifies the new entrepreneurial spirit required for the 21st century. The 50th Law will reveal the secret to his success and how we can all apply this to our lives."
