The discography of G-Unit , an American hip hop group, consists of two studio albums , two extended plays (EP), one soundtrack album, 43 mixtapes and 10 singles (including three as a featured artist). Music videos and collaborations are also included.
The group's members all grew up in South Jamaica, Queens , and when 50 Cent was spotted and signed to a label, both Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo worked on mixtapes in order to gain attention as artists themselves.[ 1] 50 Cent was later dropped from his label after being shot nine times in front of his grandmother's house; his label saw him as too much of a risk to keep.[ 2] [ 3] After being shot, 50 Cent signed to Interscope Records , who granted him his own record label later on due to the success of his debut album, Get Rich or Die Tryin' .[ 4]
G-Unit continued to record and released several mixtape series which earned them attention in the rap industry,[ 4] including 50 Cent Is the Future , God's Plan (album) , No Mercy, No Fear and Automatic Gunfire .
