US rapper 50 Cent samples Sizzla's song

American rapper 50 Cent recently sampled Sizzla Kalonji's Solid As A Rock on his new free mix tape called 5 (Murder By Numbers).

Solid As A Rock was featured on Sizzla's Da Real Thing LP back in 2002 and was popular on local and international airwaves.

Solid As A Rock broke through in the US hip-hop market by 2003 and was later sampled by hip-hop artiste Ja Rule in his song called The Crown. Ja Rule had used Sizzla's chorus as a response to 50 Cent whom he was in a lyrical feud with at the time.

Now over a decade since the release of Da Real Thing, 50 Cent has decided to use the same song to stake his claim on the hip-hop crown. He calls his single My Crown.

In 50 Cent's rendition of My Crown he raps about his current presence in the hip-hop industry, stating that he is still a dominant figure.

"Am still... am rich already, ... around you will be meeting your obituary, my whip clean, my watch gleam, nine carrots now that's what I call a pinkie ring, don't even trip, my heart cold, am on the globe I ball hard, I go hard I ghetto right am super hood, am ... on these ... like they know I would," are some of the lines in 50 Cent's song.

During 50 Cent's rapping, Sizzla's voice can be heard in the background singing, 'Solid as a rock they just can't stop me now.' The song ends with Sizzla's voice resonating on the hook singing, 'They found no weapon only a draw of herb' repeatedly.

The STAR made several attempts to get a comment from Sizzla about 50 Cent sampling his song, however, his publicist, Olimatta Taal, said he was unavailable for comment as he was at a Nyabinghi celebrating Haile Selassie's birthday. Haile Selassie was born on July 23, 1892.

"I just sent him the information about the song, he is at Binghi
