Forever King is a twelve-track mixtape by 50 Cent with 90s R&B samples provided by DJ Whoo Kid. The collection is dedicated to the death of Michael Jackson.[2]

Background

The collection was initially called Sincerely Southside Part 2, but the death of Michael Jackson stimulated a last minute renaming.[3] Comparing to his last release, War Angel LP, 50 Cent stated:

This tape is different, I gave you "War Angel", you already know what that is. Now "Forever King". It has a 90's feel to it. Yall gonna love that right there.[4]

The cover art for Forever King features 50 Cent's face and his New York Yankees cap digitally imposed on a skull encrusted with diamonds. Another version is more ordinary, featuring a jeweled skull with tilted crown.[5]
