Over the next decade, 50 would become a fixture in the hip-hop world, staring G-Unit Records, named after his G-Unit rap group. He also would release four more albums. His album, Street King Immortal, was set for a summer 2012 release but problems with Interscope Records delayed its released. 50 left Interscope and released Animal Ambition in 2014. 50 planned to release the delayed Street King Immortal in 2015. However, he declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy in July of that year. In addition to music, 50 has acted in movies like Southpaw and Escape Plan, and has produced the drama series, Power.
