 “This is like something before the album, my new situation with G-Unit was just solidified and I got off the phone with 50 yesterday, I just signed a really large deal,” an excited Shawty Lo told AllHipHop.com.

In 2008, Bankhead rapper released his debut album, Units In the City, which spawned the hits "Dey Know," "Foolish" and "Dunn Dunn", placing Shawty Lo on Hip-Hop's mainstream radar.  

“Its like a new beginning and all I needed was someone behind me. 50 [Cent] is a marketing genius and I got my new thing D4L and G-Unit and we going to be working the south and the rest of the world if need be"

Standing by his music for the streets and for albums, Shawty Lo elaborated on some of his favorite songs on the project.

 “'Haters' got 50, Yayo and Roscoe Dash, my single 'Pocahontas' has Twista and Wale, 'I Know', I got Future on there, the whole mixtape jammin’.  If I’m working on a song, it may be on a mixtape, but it could for a album.”

Shawty Lo is currently gearing up for his G-Unit debut and sophomore album currently titled Still Got Units.
