Shawty Lo is a busy man these days. In addition to his recently dropped Million Dollar Man mixtape, he is working on his G-Unit Records debut album Still Got Units, which will be released in 2013. AllHipHop.com caught up with the Bankhead rapper recently to talk about what is going on with his career, G-Unit and his stable of artists.
“The fans are loving the mixtape, I really want to drop a video for each song on the mixtape, I want to show you what I can do, and ‘Million Dollar Man’ [MDM] does that. MDM is setting up for my album ‘Still Got Units’ for the first quarter in the year coming up,” Shawty Lo explained to AllHipHop.com. “MDM, you know Lebron had won the MVP, and Heat won the championship, so I put a record together with me, Gucci, and Rocko, and after the first few hours of its release it was on over one hundred websites.”
When Shawty signed his deal with G-Unit Records a lot of people failed to realize it was more than just an artist deal. Shawty is also developing his own artists for G-Unit South.
“Everything is going well. I just been working hard, man. I know that people been wondering what’s going on, but I just had to bury the seed and you finna see everything going on with us right now,” Shawty explained. “I got artists from my Super Star CJ, Stuntman, the first lady of D4L named Jai Jai, Jurari from Alabama, and I got a lot of hot producers that I’m looking to sign.”
Shawty also said things couldn't be better as far as his relationship with 50 Cent.
“50 is great, he’s product, genius. I love working for 50. To start off, when I got my deal, I had like several deals on the table, and I had like a seven-hour meeting with 50. I knew that’s where I wanted to be. My deal was a large deal; it was a $10 million deal, but the money is to help me build my brand, to sign artists, the label, the south branch of G-Unit. You know, if an artist comes out with a single down here [Atlanta], it may take several months to make its way up to New York or California, so basically I am right here right now. So, they can get to me, and we can make sure that things move quickly."
