50 Cent feat. Ne-Yo – Baby By Me (Radio Rip CDQ) (Updated)
50 Cent - Baby By Me
50 Cent comes through with his fourth attempt at a first single off his upcoming Before I Self Destruct album titled “Baby By Me” with Ne-Yo. Based off the tracks title and feature, it’s obvious this is a mainstream single that is aimed at the ladies. The track samples 50’s line from “I Get Money” when he says “Have a baby by me, I be a millionaire…” and of course has Ne-Yo doing the hook.
