UPDATE #2: 50 Cent announces a new release date for his sixth studio album, "Street King Immortal."

50 Cent has revealed the official release date for his upcoming album Street King Immortal.

According to a press release, the LP will arrive in stores on November 13th via Shady/Aftermath/Interscope. Fif has had difficulty putting the record in motion, having previously aired his grievances with his label Interscope Records over their lack of support for the project. But earlier this month, the G-Unit general said that he now has full support from the imprint after clearing audit issues.

He most recently released the project's first single "New Day" featuring Dr. Dre and Alicia Keys. To create some buzz for the project, he just released his new mixtape 5 (Murder By Numbers).

UPDATE: 50 Cent has announced a new release date for his oft-delayed fifth studio album Street King Immortal, slated to drop on February 26, 2013.

UPDATE #2: 50 Cent released his Animal Ambition: An Untamed Desire To Win album Tuesday (June 3). The Queens, New York rapper's next album is set to be Street King Immortal, which was originally planned for a 2012 release.

"The next project, Street King Immortal, was already written before I wrote [Animal Ambition: An Untamed Desire To Win]," 50 Cent says during an interview with The Daily Buzz. "That’s how I know to write it like this. Street King Immortal will actually be out in September. I have a real strict schedule. I’m going to be moving around a lot. It’s going to be a lot of work."

50 Cent says that he did did not aim to attract the female audience with Animal Ambition.

“The overall outline for it was prosperity," he says of Animal Ambition. "I wrote [about] all the effects of it because after the success I’ve had in my career people only see the positive sides. They don’t get a chance to see things happening in your circle. I offered it all on this actual project. I kept it specifically the way it is. I made female references but I didn’t make music aimed at the female audience."
