G Unit![]() G-Unit, an abbreviation for Guerilla Unit, is a rap group founded by 50 Cent.

Since signing to the label, G-Unit's members have released solo albums. Show more » G-Unit was founded shortly after 50 Cent left Columbia Records. The rapper was interested in working with fellow Queens-based rappers, including Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo, and Tyler Boulala.
