About G Unit

G-Unit Records is an American record label founded by 50 Cent and his manager, Sha Money XL. It operates as a subsidiary of, and is distributed through, Universal Music Group's Interscope Records. After the debut of the album Get Rich or Die Tryin', 50 Cent was granted his own label. Since 2003, his label became successful for not only himself, but his appointed label artists. Due to the success of G-Unit, Dr. Dre was impressed and offered to work alongside 50 Cent with the then Aftermath Entertainment artist, The Game. After the well publicized departure of the rapper in early 2005, Spider Loc was signed to the label. As a result of the problems that 50 Cent encountered with The Game, he was not sure whether or not to sign any new artists to his "family", which was how he perceived G-Unit and the record label. However, later that year, the opportunity to sign Mobb Deep and M.O.P. came up.
