Multi-platinum selling rapper 50 Cent will make his directorial debut in the upcoming film Before I Self-Destruct, set to hit theaters this winter.

According to Rolling Stone, 50 will be in full control of the movie, the movie is tagged with the same title as his forthcoming album, but he has no intention of making it music-based.

“When [movies] portray certain lifestyles they don’t show cause and effect,” he explained. “But I showed characters under pressure in scenarios where they felt like there were no other options, even though there were. There are always options. People just usually start to see them while being incarcerated — for not seeing them in the first place.”

Before I Self-Destruct album and film are both to be released on December 9.
