50 Cent closes out 2024 with a new verse after announcing his upcoming Las Vegas residency. The mogul surprised fans over the weekend with a guest feature on the new track “Prayed Up” by emerging stars O.T and Elesia Iimura. Stream it here.
Blending gritty street energy, soulful melodies, and motivational undertones, the song hits harder than your typical club anthem, delivering a message of resilience and triumph. 50 Cent’s feature marks the second verse from the mogul since appearing on Nicki Minaj‘s “Beep Beep” in 2023. Before that, 50’s last feature was on Pop Smoke’s 2020 posthumous album Shoot For The Stars Aim For The Moon.
At its core, “Prayed Up” explores themes of struggle, perseverance, and gratitude. It’s an anthem for anyone determined to rise above life’s challenges. Elesia describes its mission succinctly: “We aim to be a new wave of positive influence in the music industry, especially in genres that could use redirection. Motivational music that inspires people to better themselves and their circumstances is key for me.”
Elesia and O.T’s new track highlights their dedication to uplifting music and their relentless drive for success. Whether on radio, stage, or screen, they’re making a lasting impact.
The emerging stars are preparing for their first U.S. tour, which will launch in January. They’ll visit major radio stations, podcasts, and stages across the country to connect with their growing fanbase and expand their reach stateside.
Adding to the excitement, “Prayed Up” is rumored to be featured on the soundtrack of an upcoming horror film, adding a cinematic edge to its already evocative atmosphere.
50 Cent’s Las Vegas residency with Planet Hollywood begins December 2025. He will host six shows that capture his legacy of hit music. He released his debut album, Get Rich or Die Tryin’, in 2003. The album features classics “In Da Club,” “21 Questions,” and “Many Men.”
