"Hustler's Ambition" is the first single (in the US) and second single (in UK and AUS) by 50 Cent from the "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" soundtrack, released in 2005. 50 Cent has stated that it is one of his personal favorite tracks from the album, but by only reaching #65 on the Billboard charts, it's his least successful Billboard single to date apart from "If I Can't", which charted at #76. However, the song remains very popular and is generally considered a fan favorite.

"Hustler's Ambition" appears in Get Rich or Die Tryin' when 50 Cent's character Marcus performs it in concert towards the end. The song appeared in the trailer for the film.

The lyrics summarize 50 Cent's rough time growing up, and how he had to "hustle" to keep up with life, by any means (including selling drugs). They also contain elements from Frankie Beverly & Maze's song "I Need You".

The music video was shot in London, and shows 50 Cent coming into a building to train and record new music. There is a boxing match at the end, which 50 Cent walks away from. The video also has several clips from Get Rich or Die Tryin', many of which (such as young Marcus standing outside a shoe store with his friend) were also included in the video for "Window Shopper".

The hard copy of the single also included "In Da Club" as a recorded live track.

It is also a bonus track for 50 Cent's third album, "Curtis", which will only be a bonus track on the UK edition of the album.
