Origins (2010)

[edit]

After the success of former G-Unit subsidiary label "G-Unit South,"G-Unit Philly, and "G-Unit West, 50 Cent decided to create another subsidiary in 2009. Unlike the two other subsidiary labels, G-Note Records is a Hip hop based label includingPop,Dance andR&B music.^[2] The label was founded in late 2010 with the first two artists signed,Governor andHot Rod.^[3] The first official music that was released under the label was Hot Rod's first single calledDance With Me.^[4] It was believed that 50 Cent intended to sign more acts to the label in the upcoming year, including R&B singerJovan Dais who was featured on the original version of his single"Baby By Me", Zimbabwean singerGamu Nhengu, and singerJeremih who he has recently worked on a couple of projects with.^[5]^[6] The second single released on the label wasGovernor's, the song was called "Here We Go Again" and featured 50 Cent.^[7] In an interview withG-Unit Radio 50 Cent said he created the label because

"There was a gap in the market, the groupG-Unit had a distinctive aggressive style and so also everyone on the label's style was expected to be aggressive. It also is a platform for artist's to make all different styles of music".^[8]

In late April 2011, it was reported that 50 Cent was in talks withDJ Pauly D about signing to the label for a three-album deal. This was later confirmed byDJ Whoo Kid in an interview with Shade 45.^[9]^[10]In the beginning of December 2011, DJ Pauly D was officially signed to G-Note Records.^[11] Lea was dropped from the label at the top of 2013.
