50 Cent to promote his vodka in Philly

On July 22, Fitty will sign bottles of Effen Vodka from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Fine Wine & Good Spirits Premium Collection store on Girard Avenue near Second Street in Northern Liberties.

The rapper 50 Cent has some income to help with that new bankruptcy filing.

On July 22, Fitty will sign bottles of Effen Vodka from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Fine Wine & Good Spirits Premium Collection store, on Girard Avenue near Second Street in Northern Liberties.

Joshua Albert of Spirit Newspapers points out that in April, Curtis James Jackson III sold 277 gallons of the vodka (or 13 bottles a minute) in just three hours at a Syracuse liquor warehouse.

Effen, which costs $24.99 for a 750ml bottle, is distilled in the Netherlands.

For those who think the name is simply a bowdlerized obscenity, know it's a Dutch term meaning "smooth, even and balanced."
