It’s not only a “New Day” for Alicia Keys, but 50 Cent as well. The hip-hop mogul borrows from the Grammy-winning songbird on the first single from his upcoming album Street King Immortal, due in November.
A 30-second snippet of the song debuted in 50’s new iPhone app and thanks to HipHop-N-More, we now have the audio rip.
For those who were curious, the song sounds the same as Alicia Keys’ Swizz Beatz-produced record of the same name, except with verses from 50 and Dre. The full version will premiere tomorrow.

I’m not understanding, is it still Alicia’s first single as well? I definitely prefer the Alicia version already and I haven’t even heard the full song yet.

@MH, Well the song was never confirmed as Alicia’s official single (she even provided a free download instead of releasing on itunes). I think for her it will serve as a buzz single while being 50′s official first single.

I think the beat sounds different, as far as the record itself, its sounds promising.

@MmmHmm, he has over a thousand songs and is just never happy with the album. He made it completely 3 times. So do not count on it in the near future. Not to mention the fact that he literally said he has stopped trying to make it.

It’s a little different than Alicia’s song, I like both of them.

i think this song is trashy. ive never liked the idea of alicia releasing this sh*t as her first single and i don’t know why 50 thought it would be interesting for him to release too. i understand that are two diffent songs, but both of them will be released as a single? or alicia’s solo will only serve as part II of 50′s song?

@Pucci, he’s desperate now, so he’ll cling on to whatever he can do to put himself in the Hot 100 top 10. not that he needs another hit, he’s already super rich, but its more an ego thing.
