50 Cent Preps Banks' LP, Introduces New G-Unit MC

by: Mark Lelinwalla

Fif' started the year with the release of Mobb Deep’s album, Blood Money, which dropped earlier this month. Now, 50 wants to make sure everything is on point for G-Unit’s lyrical Boy Wonder Lloyd Banks’ sophomore album release, The Rotten Apple, which is tentatively due in stores July 18. Banks, who recently turned 24-years-old, has already released his Timbaland-produced lead single, “My House,” which is beginning to make the rounds on New York City radio. In related G-Unit news, the famous crew has a new member- Hot Rod, an MC from Phoenix. 50 introduced Hot Rod as the newest member of G-Unit a couple of weeks ago in Miami for a Radio One weekend concert, as reported by MTV News. right Although Hot Rod is new to G-Unit, he’s already flexing the kind of musical muscle 50 is used to. That’s because Hot Rod’s album will tentatively feature a collaboration with none other than The Queen of Hip Hop Soul, Mary J. Blige. A release date for Hot Rod’s album hasn’t been announced as of press time.
