Here is another track off of the new mixtape dropping July 3rd titled “Forever King“. Three tracks deep and I can already say Forever King > War Angel LP.

NEW YORK — No fair; 50 Cent is cheating.

Well, it’s not really cheating when you have producers such as Dr. Dre, Timbaland and Polow Da Don working on your album. Fif is stacking the deck for his current incarnation of Before I Self Destruct. Fif is on his third different production of the album, and he said the third time’s the charm.

“I feel like my album is as close to perfect as it’s gonna get,” 50 told MTV News last week. “I’m reaching the point to where if I have to continue to write it, I’ll be overkilling it. That’s why I gave myself other writing assignments, like the War Angel [mixtape], like the ’90s [tape] Sincerely Southside Part 2 and our actual G-Unit mixtape I’m doing with [Lloyd] Banks and [Tony] Yayo.”

Fif said reconnecting with Timbaland for Before I Self Destruct has been a unique experience.

“When me and Timbaland go in, a lot of times it’s a compromise,” Fif said. “He’s doing things that’s a little different production-wise from what I would usually do. Like ‘Ayo Technology’ — you never heard me rap with that cadence. That beat was actually for Justin [Timberlake]. It was golden, some sh– he had on the side, and he gave it to me. I went and did it. Justin laid the hook to it.”

Timbo will go in the studio and mumble a melody and tell Fif to pen lyrics with that flow, which 50 said is easy for him.

“I could put lyrics to any melody,” the G-Unit General said. “I can write a rap song, I can write an R&B song, I can write whatever type of song. If you put a note on it where I can hear it, man, I can write that. We did that, and that’s how I came up with that new cadence for ‘Ayo Technology.’ We did that a couple of times while we was on there working [on Before I Self Destruct]. It’s fun that way to have him participate with me.

“Even if you ain’t got the words,” 50 added. “You’re up there, ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.’ Tim will be like, ‘I can’t believe that. He was able to make everything I just made a noise into a real cadence.’ I seen him take pens or pencils into a cup and put it into a shaker. I’m sure nobody else has shaker sounds like that. … I seen some interesting things from Timbaland.”

Polow also worked on the new album, but he had music prepared for 50 before the MC came to the studio. Before I Self Destruct drops in September.

Expect the unexpected. The game moves so quickly, and we’re prepared for anything, so you should always look to us to document it. Two Mixtape Daily articles in one day? (Make sure you peep that Fire Starter!) Why not if the content’s there?

We were prepping a real ill Behind the Beats to land Friday morning, but everything got put on pause when 50 Cent decided to phone in. The G-Unit General is putting out a project of all-new material called War Angel LP on Tuesday via ThisIs50.com. He says it’s more like a street album than a mixtape. Fif — who’s in L.A. right now recording Before I Self Destruct with Timbaland and Polow Da Don — said he’s throwing heat rocks all summer long, then dropping his official LP in September (dare we dream he drops the same day as Jay?).

“I’m finnin’ to get on the street, you already know what time it is,” he said via cell.

The tagline for the project is “Prepare for Total Destruction.”

“You know what it is, it’s a conflict,” Fif described. “The exact opposite. I didn’t want to write Angel Demon. It’s not the contrast between good and bad. But … if someone’s at war, I’m sure they’re saying their prayers. They believe they have angels around them. What would you call an angel around a soldier at war?”

A War Angel, of course.

“That’s why I titled it that,” he added. “Creatively, this is not even a mixtape. That’s why I put LP next to it. … My core audience will understand it immediately, and it’s written specifically for that.”

With such a potent title, some people are obviously expecting him to go at his last known enemy: Officer Ricky. Fif said that’s not the case. He’s done with the Miami MC.

“You’re gonna see,” he promised, before explaining why the beef with Ross is over. “I think if you don’t identify when you’ve won a race, you’ll continue to run victory laps until you’ve exhausted yourself. There’s nothing else to win in the Rick Ross situation. There’s nothing else to do to that guy from my perspective.”

So who will 50 be firing missiles at?

‘It’s not a specific target, a specific person, I’m writing about,” he clarified. “When you hear it, out of all the material I put on the street, you’re gonna say that’s the best body of work I put out in the mixtape circuit, period. The way the mood of music is right now, when they hear what this is, they’ll say, ‘That’s what we needed.’ ”

More 50 Cent underground releases will follow in just a few short weeks.

“I have two other tapes to follow it,” he revealed. “Fourth of July, Sincerely Southside Part 2 coming out with mostly ’90s music on it. Timeless music, classic hit records. Then, after that, there’s a G-Unit mixtape. It’s actually untitled. I’ll be finished with it in the next day or so.”

The War Angel LP track list, according to 50 Cent:

1. “I Line N—as”
2. “Talking in Codes”
3. “OK, Alright”
4. “Redrum (Murder)”
5. “Cream 2009″
6. “I’ll Do Anything”
7. “London Girl”
8. “AK”
9. “Get the Message”
10. “I Gotta Win”

What I fell in love with and inspired me to get into hip-hop is dwindling away. I’d like to be a representation of that, because there isn’t much of that left. I think people are so conscious of the numbers they’re not being creative anymore. I’ve received nothing but positive feedback on this collaboration. And it’s a surprise because it’s playing in a space where you wouldn’t traditionally hear 50 Cent. It’s exciting and it’s a whole new charge of energy for the person that is tuning in.

Can collaborations hurt or cannibalize other product from the same artist?

Absolutely not. It allows you to write outside of whatever your album concept was. When I’m putting together my album conceptually, I develop this thing in my head and on paper of what I want it to feel like. Sometimes I need to do things several times to get it right. I feel a song is a piece of what they were putting together as part of the actual album. And if the album is sequenced properly, it could be something people consider a classic and you fall in love with every song. I think even the best albums we love would have been different if they had been sequenced different.

You say your album, “Before I Self Destruct,” will come out in August or September. What about your film?

I wrote, directed and produced the project. With the purchase of the CD you get the film. I wanted my audience to see it, because I was inspired by what I wrote on the album. I wanted to create reasons for the actions, and I was able to develop cause and effect. When the song is three minutes long you only have time to create descriptions; you can’t explain why things are the way the are. That’s why I put it in the album package. It’s a different form of entertainment. I feel music marks time, and there’s a lot of great music being made now that doesn’t completely match the time period.

Do you have a first single yet?

When these guys finish mixing I’ll finish making the decisions. People look at my projects as if it’s only 50, but it’s really 50 Cent up to Dr. Dre and Eminem standards.

Is there anything about your Latin America performances that stand out?

While I was performing in Medellín [Colombia] this girl near the front was so excited and she was so beautiful, and I thought, ‘Oh, my God, I want to have kids. With her. Now.’ And when the concert was over she was gone.

What was it like working with Wisin & Yandel?
When they sent the actual concept, I listened to it and the melodies completely fit me. It could be a song that I could do apart from them. So we’re meeting on a ground that is completely comfortable for both of us. My duet with Justin Timberlake, for example-there is more compromise for me there. The content is similar to what you can see from 50 Cent, but the actual rap, style and cadence is different. But when I go into the song with Wisin & Yandel I didn’t even have to make those cadence changes.

Had you deliberately gone after the Latin market before?
I’ve had huge success in Latin markets without intentionally reaching for that audience. And I’d like to maybe remix different things with different artists, and creatively, I’d like to do more stuff with Wisin & Yandel. I think hip-hop in general has changed dramatically based on artists reaching for other people. If you look at the artists out there, I think they’re a reflection of what was rock’n'roll. In general, they’re doing a style that isn’t hip-hop. They’re doing things that aren’t traditional at all.

Is this what’s happening with your music?
