D4L rapper Shawty Lo, who once popularly proclaimed he had no wife but his white on last year's club banger, "I'm Da Man," is planning to drop his solo rap debut, Units In The City, on D4L Records/Asylum.
Though Lo mainly played the background to D4L's finger-snapping, white-rimmed-sunglasses-rocking frontman Fabo, he was a force to be reckoned with behind the scenes.
In 2003, he started D4L Records, and executive produced the group's uber-popular 2005 album, Down For Life (a.ka. D4L), which featured the contagious singles, "Betcha Can't Do It Like Me" and "Laffy Taffy," which went multi-platinum off of ring tones alone.
Along with fellow Atlanta rap troupe, Dem Franchize Boyz, D4L is credited with popularizing the southern "snap music" movement.
In 2006, the pint-sized rapper collaborated with DJ Scream on the underground mixtape I'm Da Man. The mixtape went on to sell 40,000 copies. Lo has most recently released a follow-up, I'm Da Man, Part 2.
Units will feature guest rapper Gucci Mane, and is set to be released this fall.

I adore your style, and gangster ambition. I am an expiring artist whom would love to be down with your record label. I don’t know how to go about promoting myself—but I do know that sex sell meaning having the look and sex appeal. I posses all those character’s plus more. I’ve recorded smashing hits locally, but people want to help me, but they always want to know what they gone get from it. “In this business it’s about the quality of the product ‘right?’” Well I can tell you I’m worth checking out. I will set up a my space page with picture so you can see ‘QUALITY’ or call my phone son you can hear it for yourself . If this really you. It really hard out here for an converted felon. Please help make me a star like you. I from Durham I sure you heard about us.

Linda Hobbs is an idiot, Shawty Lo's got no wife but the white is his girlfriend, not his white tee. Dont write about rap if you don't understand it.
