I was wondering if you will be accepting scripts from any non-solicit writers? And if so I have several and would like to submit them to you.

This is an incredible hip hop music news story. Rap superstar 50 Cent just seems to go from strength to strength and from one success to another. First it was his smash hit rap records then came the hot 50 Cent music videos which dominated MTV and most of the urban video channels and now he appears to be about to conquer Hollywood with his own production company. This is an incredible achievement for this talented young rapper and I am sure that his success will only continue long into the future.
