G-Unit Records

G-Unit Records is an American record label. The label was founded in 2003 by rapper 50 Cent. Upon its inception, the label operated as a subsidiary of, and was distributed through, Universal Music Group's Interscope Records, a division of Interscope Geffen A&M Records. In August 2010, the label added another distribution with EMI. In February 2014, G-Unit Records severed its eleven-year relationship with Interscope Records, and the label now operates under the mantle of Capitol Music Group's Caroline Records, another imprint under Universal. G-Unit Records has a subsidiary label, G-Note Records, that caters to other genres of music, including R&B and pop. The label's acts over the years have earned RIAA certifications of "Platinum" or higher on seven of its sixteen released albums.
