Posted by Buh bye Interscope. Seems like Fif wasn’t joking when he said “F*ck Jimmy Iovine!’ the founder and chairman of his former parent label, Interscope records a little over a year ago. A frustrated Fifty has ditched Iovine and his Interscope corporate machine for the free willing efforts and independent friendly EMI Records
G-Unit Records has entered into an exclusive agreement with EMI Label Services in which EMI will distribute and promote releases on the G-Unit roster in North America. EMI will release the Grammy nominated multi-platinum rapper Lloyd Banks’ third solo album “H.F.M. 2” (Hunger For More 2) on November 23rd, 2010, and Tony Yayo’s as yet untitled sophomore album, which is scheduled for early 2011.
G-Unit, formerly with Interscope Records, is joining a growing number of third party labels and artists to ink deals with EMI Label Services. EMI Label Services’ unique approach gives independent artists and labels creative freedom along with access to the expertise, marketing and promotional muscle of a major label.
According to Lloyd Banks, “It’s refreshing to see the EMI staff excited about my project, they have the passion and energy I haven’t seen in while”.
Per Tony Yayo, “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.”

Congrats on the new deal fellas. Now please, PLEASE get back to blessing us with those hit records like the good ole days. No more of this bullshit you’ve tried to pass off as rap these last couple of years. Thank you in advance.
