Which record label did 50 Cent found, home to artists such as Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo?
Answer
G-Unit Records
Answer
G-Unit Records
The record label 50 Cent founded was G-Unit Records.
50 Cent launched G-Unit Records on October 15, 2002, with his business partner and manager Sha Money XL. The label was created soon after 50 Cent signed with Eminem's Shady Records, Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment, and Interscope Records, giving him a platform for his own artists.
Its central roster grew from the G-Unit group: Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo, and later Young Buck. The label's first major commercial release was 50 Cent's Get Rich or Die Tryin', whose success turned G-Unit into a powerful hip-hop brand. Lloyd Banks followed with The Hunger for More, while the group released Beg for Mercy in 2003.
A common mix-up is choosing Aftermath Entertainment or Shady Records. Those labels were important partners in 50 Cent's major-label career, but G-Unit Records was his own imprint. G-Unit Records also launched G-Note Records in 2010 for artists working in R&B and pop.
