Rap-Up.com || New Music: 50 Cent f/ Alicia Keys & Dr. Dre

50 Cent ushers in a “New Day” with his brand new single featuring Alicia Keys and Dr. Dre. The uplifting anthem, which was produced by Dre and mixed by Eminem, will appear on the G-Unit mogul’s upcoming album Street King Immortal, due November 13.

His Interscope Records boss Jimmy Iovine has already called the project his best since his debut. “Jimmy iovine said STREET KING IMMORTAL is the best album I’v made sense GET RICH OR DIE TRYING,” tweeted Curtis.

How does 50’s “New Day” stack up to Alicia’s song of the same name? Listen and weigh in below.

@MinajRules2012, You’ve really got it bad. You are such a negative and pathetic person with so much hate in you, maybe you should try being a rapper. Alicia can sing and her voice is not gone and she is none of those stupid, idiotic names you continually call her, so why don’t you get off your karma high?

@BLUE IVY, I have to agree. I could listen to Alicia’s version ever day and wouldn’t mind it getting stuck in my head at all. This, NO. It doesn’t always fit to mix rap with a beautiful song. I pray this doesn’t get played every day on the stations.

@MinajRules2012. Alicia wrote and produced this song herself and allowed Dre and 50 to join you dumb bitch. Nicki Minaj ndoesn’t even wrte her own raps nor can the ugly fake bitch rap. Her sales suck unlike Alicia who has 3 Multi platinum albums . Please get it together before coming for Alicia Keys you scrub.

@letThisabitchKnow, Thats a lie, singer Seven from the group Rich girls wrote the record and it was produced by swizz Beats the keyboard rift was performed by Alicia along with vocals but thats about it and the proof is all up and through this website and elsewhere on the net. Fans that lie about their fave smh! not a good look!

@letThisabitchKnow, hold on there. Nicki has written EVERY SINGLE RAP she’s ever done. Also Nicki has 2 platinum albums (one multi) out of her 2 albums, plus she has 3x and 4x platinum singles. Don’t come after Nicki unless you know the facts.

I feel sick after listening to this version. Alicia’s version is so upbeat and inspiring and then you hear these rappers do what I call complaining and being negative. I don’t think this is a good combination at all. I hope I never hear this version again.

I like it, but he could have kept this as an album cut…he can’t lie and say it was just a “promo” track either. Dre and Alicia, Smh come on kid….u know they expecting for this to pop…but it has no place on urban radio, mainstream ain’t gone play it…and its not popping on that level…solid album cut all day though.

I like the song but I’m surprised by it, there like no spark. I just fell like there should be more intensity in the lyrics and general production of the song. Maybe with a video and heavy promotion this song will do great.
