G-Unit Records Philly is an independent record label that is a subsidiary of 50 Cent's G-Unit Records. G-Unit artist, Tony Yayo was granted the positions of CEO and President of the label. Many of the labels artists are based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Origins (2009)

After the success of former G-Unit subsidiary label "G-Unit South," (Now known as Young Buck's Label Cashville Records), G-Unit Records founder 50 Cent, decided to create another subsidiary in 2009. Based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, G-Unit Philly would be run by G-Unit artist Tony Yayo. In that same year, Yayo would introduce up-and-coming Philadelphia rapper Mike Knox, who would ultimately become the labels first signee, to 50 . The year 2009 also saw the signing of Philadelphia artists Tone Trump, Ive Vegas and Cotic, respectively.

2010-Present

That year young rapper Ben Jacobs caught the attention of G-Unit Records founder 50 Cent, who would sign him in a joint venture with G-Unit Records to the label. Around the same time, former Roc-A-Fella Philadelphia rapper Freeway, announced he had inked a deal with the label, and will release his up-coming album Diamond in the Rough through G-Unit Philly. In early 2011 another former Roc-A-Fella Records artist Beanie Sigel signed with the label.
