Pocket/MTV Books has announced that it will publish a line of hip hop novellas and graphic novels featuring 50 Cent's G-Unit members Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo, Young Buck, and Olivia as characters.  According to the announcement, the stories 'will tell the truth about The Life; the sex, guns and cash; the brutal highs and short lives of the players on the streets.'  The series will kick off with a novella by Nikki Turner, who wrote The Glamorous Life and A Hustler's Wife, in 2007. 

 

Rapper 50 Cent has been everywhere lately doing press for his new film, Get Rich or Die Tryin', which opened last weekend with a $12 million gross.  Sales on his most recent non-soundtrack release, The Massacre, hit sales velocity levels not reached since the Beatles.
