Beg for Mercy is the 2003 debut album from G-Unit. After the success of Get Rich or Die Tryin', 50 Cent was granted his own label, G-Unit Records, on which he signed Lloyd Banks, Young Buck and Tony Yayo. As the album was recorded, however, Tony Yayo was sentenced to jail on charges of gun possession, and so makes only two appearances on the entire record. His face is seen on the brick wall of the album cover because he could not be photographed on account of his jail sentence. Beg for Mercy sold 2.3 million in the U.S. and 4 million worldwide^{[citation needed]}; the album has only one featured guest, singer, Joe. Image File history File links Beg_for_mercy. ...
