Background
On June 11, 2009, it was announced that 50 Cent was to digitally release new material over his community website. The rapper stated his new project entitled War Angel LP, would be more like a "street album" than a mixtape.[https://web.archive.org/web/20090615053007/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1613812/20090611/50_cent.jhtml Exclusive: 50 Cent Talks War Angel LP, Which Drops Next Week] 50 Cent also claimed that it will be the "best" underground project to date.
When speaking on the title, 50 Cent stated:
{{blockquote|I didn't want to write 'Angel Demon'. It's not the contrast between good and bad. But...if someone's at war, I'm sure they're saying their prayers. They believe they have angels around them. What would you call an angel around a soldier at war? That's why I titled it that.}}
