G-Unit Records has found a new home with Electric & Musical Industries Ltd aka EMI Group, after a long stint with Interscope. EMI is the 4th largest business group and family of record labels in the recording industry with a major publishing arm based in New York City and is owned by Terra Firma Capital Partners. Their unique approach gives artists and independent labels creative freedom along with aces to the expertise, marketing and promo muscle of a major label.
Lloyd Banks said, "It's refreshing to see the EMI staff excited about my project, they have the passion and energy I haven't seen in a while." And Tony Yayo added that "The EMI staff is creative and willing to think outside the box. They are fans of my music and career...I'm looking forward to marketing and promoting my upcoming album with them."
The first project on deck is Lloyd Bank's 3rd album entitled Hunger For More II (HFM) which is set to drop in late November and will include the smash single "Beamer Benz or Bentley" which is one of the biggest tracks of the year and has already generated more than half-a-million downloads. HFM2 will be followed by Tony Yayo's sophomore album in early 2011 which has yet to be named and will include the single "Pass the Patron" featuring @50Cent.
