50 Cent 'recording dance album'

50 Cent has suggested that he is recording a dance album.

The US rapper said that he has been inspired by music he heard while touring Europe and has already started recording the album under the working title Black Magic.

"I went to a nightclub after party. It was different music after a while. The music they were playing before they were playing the music I created was more up-tempo, more dance," he told DopeMoney.

"I wanted to make a song like that, so I went into the studio. Because I'm travelling with my live band, I took the band with me and we sequenced it and recorded the actual record while I was out there."

50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, claimed that his fans may be surprised with the style of his new LP.

"I won't allow myself to be placed in a box which I can only do one style, or do one kind of music. They should expect the unexpected on this one.

"If they can understand how I enjoy different genres of music and different styles, for the people who have various tastes in music, they'll really like it."
