Enter Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, who stepped into the booth at the 11th hour and laced it with a few rhymes.
"Rodney Jerkins produced it and I think it's going to be a big record. The way he laid his verses is crazy," she tells MTV.
The session with 50 went so well that Ciara decided to bring in another last minute guest to give the album, due December 5, another shot of adrenaline. Ciara is saving the artist’s identity as a surprise.
