In an interview with XXL magazine recently, 50 Cent discussed the rap careers of G-Unit members Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo who left the Interscope record label a short time ago. “[People wonder], how do you fall out of the public eye? Because you don’t have any material that’s being marketed and promoted,” 50 explained. “Interscope is a system that’s in a different space…they got rid of sixty percent of their staff. But we’ll put [Banks and Yayo’s] projects together and find a way to put them out.”

Banks also spoke to MTV about his and Yayo’s departure from the powerhouse label. “I was ready to make a move,” he said. “I’m a brand new engine. If anything, it’s their loss. It’s been a dark shadow cast upon that. That’s why you hear [Funkmaster] Flex on the radio [boycotting Interscope], because it’s an aura created around that machine and the artists automatically get smacked in the head.”

There are no details on when G-Unit will see their next album release.
