Gang Green is the third studio album by rapper Lloyd Banks.[1] It is set to be released in early 2008.
In an interview with MTV, Sha Money XL spoke about Lloyd Banks' third album,
The album he's working on is amazing and he's coming back like Jay-Z after Sunshine. Sometimes you get that one album that don’t connect, but Banks' fans is still with him. He's still touring and doing shows like **** is all the way right. He's coming to beat their heads in — he on some lyrical exercise.[2]
50 Cent stated that Lloyd Banks' next album will be released as a double disc and will feature a track with Jay-Z and Nas.[3]
Shoot to Kill is the second studio album from the rap group G-Unit.[1] It is currently scheduled to be released on December 18, 2007.
It has been confirmed by G-Unit members that recording for the album is currently in progress.[2][3] It has also been confirmed by 50 Cent that Shoot to Kill will be the next G-Unit Records release after Curtis.[3]
The album's title has been acknowledged by HipHopDX.com who said "As the title suggests, they [G-Unit] aren't exactly aiming for joy." In an interview with MTV Tony Yayo revealed the reason behind the title saying that it "describes the aggressiveness."[4]
50 Cent commented on the method of songwriting and recording that the group are using. He said:
We ran through 18 records. But what I was doing at that point was I was allowing them to make the same effort that they would make for mixtape material, for the album. So we’ll put portions of that material that were made during that time span on the actual street. It’s not going to do anything but build momentum.[5]
During an interview, Spider Loc mentioned that G-Unit have recorded seventy to eighty tracks which could appear on the album.[6] However in an interview with AllHipHop.com, G-Unit have stated that there is currently eighteen possible tracks which could make the final album.[5]
In an interview with MTV 50 Cent confirmed that Eminem, Swizz Beatz and Timbaland have all contributed to the album, with Eminem's track being the last to be finished.[7]
He said:
We gotta work with Em, that's it. Then we can be done with it. Production-wise, I captured what I needed. But I didn't want to not have Em's stamp on it. We probably won't get his vocals until he's heard the full body of work and he's excited about it. Before my work [goes to the public], it has to pass the Eminem test, the Dr. Dre test — it's a few tests before we push them to the street. That's why they can expect a higher quality of 50 Cent music than the usual artist.
Tony Yayo confirmed that Timbaland and Swizz Beatz will be providing production for the album, quoting them as "the standout tracks" and his "favorites."[4] Tony Yayo has also confirmed that Ron Browz has produced for the album.
The first introductory track entitled "Wanna Lick" features Lil' Kim.[1][8][9] The collaboration was made possible due to Young Buck bringing 50 Cent and Lil' Kim together to reconcile, which killed the feud between the two artists that started shortly after "Magic Stick" was released in 2003.[8]
The song "Feel Good", which features all of G-Unit, was premiered on November 1, 2007 and will be included on an upcoming G-Unit mixtape. It is currently unknown whether or not this will appear on Shoot to Kill.
I'm going to pick up both of these. Sound like 50 is bringing the hammer back, same with banks.
