The legendary 50 Cent is heading to Australia next month for a couple of huge shows, and as we get closer to the kick-off, the hip-hop icon has announced the support acts for his tour, including the likes of classic crew G-Unit.
Playing two shows in Sydney and Melbourne to celebrate the 15th anniversary of landmark album Get Rich Or Die Trying, 50 Cent is set to be joined by some of hip-hop’s biggest names, including the likes of A.B. Original, and rising Indigenous star Baker Boy, who has just had an absolutely massive 2017.
Most notably, 50 Cent will be joined by G-Unit, the hip-hop crew he formed back in 1999 with Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo. The group will also be joined on stage by relative newcomers Young Buck and Uncle Murda, who all joined the group years after its inception.
While A.B. Original haven’t released any new tunes in the last year, they’ve had an absolutely massive 2017 in which they won almost every single award that they were nominated for, proving that their status and influence as one of Australia’s biggest hip-hop acts is absolutely undeniable.
Likewise, Baker Boy, whose real name is Danzal Baker, has seen an absolutely stellar 2017, having released singles ‘Cloud 9’ and ‘Marryuna’ and being selected to play a number of festivals around the country. Arguably one of the most impressive young Indigenous acts in the country, there’s every chance that Baker Boy is going to steal the show from his support slot.
50 Cent’s Sydney show takes place at The Crescent, Parramatta Park in Sydney on February 9th, while his Melbourne show kicks off at the Melbourne Showgrounds on February 10th. Tickets are still available to both shows, so make sure you don’t miss out on one of the greatest hip-hop shows you’ll see in Australia this year.
