The discography of G-Unit, an American hip hop group, consists of two studio albums, two extended play (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. Following the success of his debut album, Get Rich or Die Tryin', he was granted his own record label by Interscope.[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.
