G-Unit solo projects

G-Unit's Lloyd Banks and Young Buck are set to release solo albums after the success of last year's “Beg for Mercy.” Lloyd Banks will be first up with “Hunger for More,” due May 25. To prep fans for the album, G-Unit will release a single from year's “Beg for Mercy” called “Smile,” which features Lloyd rapping solo.

Young Buck's album, called “Straight Outta Cashville” is due out in June, and he explains the title to fans. “Just like ‘Straight Outta Compton,'” Young Buck says, "but for y'all that don't know what Cashville is, it's short for Nashville.” Guests on the album include Dirty South MCs like Lil' Flip, David Banner and T.I.

“I'm from the Dirty Dirty, so I kinda brought a few Southern artists into the picture,” says Young Buck. “We in the kitchen cooking. It's extra, extra, extra well done.”document.write(unescape("
