50 Cent is getting ready to bulk up his G-Unit roster by adding some new faces. After signing experienced New York acts in Mase, Mobb Deep and M.O.P, 50 doesn’t look like he is stopping at that.
On the verge of releasing a film and a soundtrack album, (“Get Rich or Die Trying-The Motion Picture”) and right after making a book about his life, (“From Pieces to Weight”) 50 went on the radio to speak about his plans.
“We getting ready to do something so big,” 50 claimed during an interview with Tim Westwood from BBC‘s Radio 1 Rap Show. “We are already making up 70% of the black music at Interscope. Eventually, we’re just gonna move over, create our own radio staff and everything else — just move away from it and be the [next] Def Jam.”
So, how does 50 plan on doing this? Well, he’s starting by announcing the newest member and plans for some more. Will Kool G. Rap, Beanie Siegel and Lil’ Scrappy be in G-Unit? During the interview, 50 also said, “I’m entertaining the idea of Kool G Rap; we talked and had conversations. Beanie Sigel, we talked to Beanie. [And] Lil’ Scrappy is coming over to G-Unit.”
So, what will happen to the other new additions to the camp? Well, they may be moving up to corporate positions, according to 50. He also confirmed this stating, “You’ll be seeing, probably Mase moving into a corporate position. You’ll see Prodigy and Havoc start signing new artists ’cause they are really experienced artists. In the A&R department, can’t nobody A&R better than the actual artists.”
His film, “Get Rich or Die Trying” which also features Terrence Howard is set to hit theatres on November 9th. The soundtrack to this film, containing various songs from G-Unit soldiers like Young Buck, Lloyd Banks, M.O.P. and others will be released on November 8th.
