Nowadays, it’s a prerequisite in hip-hop: You blow; you put your crew on. You've seen it happen time and time again, so it should come as no surprise that 2003’s Cinderella Story/Rookie of the Year/ Top Selling Artist is unveiling his clique. 

You know his name: 50 Cent
And if you’ve been listening, you know his crew: G Unit

“ I’ve been promoting G-Unit since before I even had a record deal,” says 50. “All the music I put out on the mixtape circuit was 50 Cent and G-Unit.”

G-Unit is 50 Cent flanked by the metaphor-laden rhyme animal LLoyd Banks and aggressive Southern street soldier Young Buck, and supported by the still-incarcerated Tony Yayo, who is scheduled to be released at the top of next year (Free Yayo!).

The album is Beg For Mercy. and what separates Beg For Mercy from your typical supporting crew effort is that it reaches the highwater marks of its predecessor, Get Rich or Die Tryin’.“ I understand that Beg For Mercy will be compared to Get Rich or Die Tryin’” says 50. “Even though its a different project, many people are viewing it as my second project. I approached this album with the same intensity and applied the same quality control measures that I did with my own record. I couldn’t allow a dip in any of the performances.”

G-Unit was formed by 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, and Tony Yayo a few years ago, while 50 was shopping for a record deal. “50 realized that he didn’t want to just shop himself as an artist," says Banks. "Since Yayo and I were going everywhere with him anyway, we came up with the G-Unit concept.” The G-Unit troupe has expanded to include Nashville, Tennessee’s Young Buck, a former affiliate of New Orleans’ Cash Money Records who originally struck an alliance with the G-Unit while on tour. Buck had impressed 50 and the G-Unit during a rhyme cipher to the point where they made a promise: whoever secured a record deal first would come back for the other. "When his situation stopped working for him over there, I stopped dealing with them as well because my loyalty was to Juvie. And 50 was a man of his word. As soon as he got on, he extended an invitation."" When we put this album together, we wanted to accomplish a few things," says 50. "I wanted to showcase my growth as an artist over the past year; to talk about some of the things that have changed as well as some of the things that haven't. But, as G-Unit, we wanted to also make an album that can stand against some of the best rap albums ever made – not just the best group albums ever made. I think we did that.”

GGGG G-Unit!!!
