50 Cent's newest album Animal Ambition has been hitting stores last week. He has become the first rapper ever in the Hip Hop community to accept Bitcoins as a payment method.

According to Coin Desk's article, the Queens native's Shopify site will accept the payment along with combinations of bitcoins and actual cash. Digital currencies have caught the attention of other artists including Snoop Dogg, Mel B and Childish Gambino.

All have toyed with the idea of accepting bitcoins as payment for album sales.
