Which rapper is known for the hit 'In Da Club'?

The story behind the answer

The rapper known for the hit “In Da Club” is 50 Cent.

Released on January 7, 2003, “In Da Club” was the lead single from 50 Cent's debut studio album, Get Rich or Die Tryin'. The song was written by 50 Cent, Dr. Dre, and Mike Elizondo, with production by Dr. Dre and Elizondo. Its celebratory birthday refrain and sparse, instantly recognizable beat made it a defining early-2000s rap anthem.

The track became 50 Cent's first number-one single on the US Billboard Hot 100, where it remained at the top for nine weeks. It also reached number one on several other US radio and rap charts and performed strongly internationally.

Dr. Dre's role can cause confusion: he produced the record but is not its performing rapper. Eminem was also closely connected to 50 Cent's breakthrough through their shared Shady/Aftermath circle, while Snoop Dogg appears on other songs associated with the era. “In Da Club” remains one of 50 Cent's signature recordings.
