LOS ANGELES, CA (November 8, 2005) – Hip-hop’s biggest superstar, 50 Cent,
shocked the world by defying outrageous odds to become one of the music
industry’s most successful crossover artists of all time. The unauthorized
documentary, 50 Cent: Refuse to Die, available on DVD on November 8 from
New Line Home Entertainment, chronicles his inspirational journey from the
streets to the stage and his unprecedented acceptance into the heart of mainstream
culture. The DVD features interviews with 50 Cent’s grandfather and DMC from the
legendary RUN-DMC, as well as 3-D animated segments and behind-the-scenes
footage. The DVD will be available at a $19.97 SRP.

After thriving for several years in the hip-hop underground, 50 Cent’s hip-hop
anthem "In Da Club” propelled him to instant stardom. Despite his infamous past
and headline grabbing run-ins with the law, fans of all ages and races embraced
50 Cent as Get Rich or Die Tryin’ flew off the shelves, instantly becoming a number
one album on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. His current album, The Massacre, was
number one on the charts for six weeks straight, the longest streak for 2005. With
over four million albums sold and four top 10 hits, The Massacre has gone four
times platinum, securing 50 Cent’s place in music history. From multi-platinum
selling albums to his G-Unit clothing line and starring roles in television and film,
50 Cent has made an undisputed impact on the music scene and the world at large.

SYNOPSIS
50 Cent: Refuse 2 Die is the inspirational journey of the hottest artist in hip-hop,
Curtis Jackson (aka 50 Cent). Adored by fans of all ages and races and the face
of hip-hop for both the hardcore and mainstream fan, this gritty documentary
tells the tale of 50 Cent’s life and the obstacles he overcame to become an icon of
the hip-hop generation. From a life of crime to the recognition of the world at
large, the East Coast rapper defied the odds to enter the celebrity lifestyle
without losing his street credibility. Including interviews with his closest family
members and influential figures who guided his career (such as members of
RUN-DMC), this raw documentary presents 50 Cent as he has never been seen before.
