G-Unit hosted a listening event in New York City’s financial district yesterday (February 18) to preview the group’s upcoming EP, The Beast is G-Unit.
“With a Mar. 3 release date, the group played the six track project to quite favoring reviews,” an XXL article reports. “Titled ‘Ballin’,’ ‘I’m Grown,’ ‘Bring The Bottles,’ ‘Doper Than My Last One,’ ‘Boy Boy,’ and ‘Choose One;’ each of the tracks represents G-Unit’s current state of mind. The EP reflects their current lives situations, with a bit of a mature edge.”
This mature edge in music comes at the heels of the groups 2014 reunion. 50 Cent commands the crew, which recently added artist Kidd Kidd.
“Kidd Kidd worked the hardest on the project.” XXL says. “50 Cent says that the new addition to the group works so hard because, ‘He wants it like he never had it.'”
Young Buck, fresh off his return to the group, also reportedly came in strong.
“Second to Kidd Kidd, Young Buck worked hardest on the EP,” according to XXL. “50 Cent says Buck’s maturity has been extremely evident since the group got back together.”
G-Unit’s age shows in their mature state of mind.
“The EP reflects the current mind-state of the group,” XXL says. “Specifically the “’I’m Grown” track, which talks about the group’s maturity as a unit.”
50 Cent, Young Buck, Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo and Kidd Kidd plan to tour after the EP’s planned March 3 drop.
The group recorded much of the album in 50 Cent’s Connecticut mansion.
After the group reunited at last year’s Summer Jam, they released the first half to this project, The Beauty Of Independence.
Earlier today (February 20) HipHopDX reported on 50 Cent’s comments regarding artists deciding their own release dates.
“I enjoy the freedom of being able to set the date,” he said. “To say, ‘It’s gonna come out on that date ’cause it says it’s gonna come out on that date.’ Everybody else can catch up.”

But can Fifty do 1/100 of Drake’s Spotify though?
Well this is only 6 tracks NO it will not….NO one will touch 500K besides DRAKE, Nicki period
Can Drake bench 1 flower while being peed on by Big Sean?
Theres a reason Drake brought out 50 Cent and G-Unit at his OVO Festival and actually bowed down in front on them and all his fans before praising and telling his fans he wouldn’t be here without 50 Cent paving the way for him.
Drake said 50 Cent paved the way for him? How? Was Drake a hug 50 fan and 50’s music helped motivate him or something? Other than that, these two dudes are in two completely different rap categories and styles. I’m just not seeing the connection Drake was making.
But can Drake make any good music though? G-Unit isn’t the greatest group of all time, but they have good songs here and there – even nowadays as well.
Shit if G-unit isnt the greatest rap group of all time then everyone is just arguning thoere own opinions between groups like the Unit, Wu-Tang, NWA etc. BUT G-Unit is the only rap group to EVER have all their core members solo albums go platinum – that fuckin says somthing
So excited to hear this, gonna buy first day.
