Facts from the source article.
Origins (2010)
Following the success of earlier G-Unit subsidiaries G-Unit South, G-Unit Philly, and G-Unit West, 50 Cent decided in 2009 to create another subsidiary. Unlike those, G-Note Records is a hip hop based label that also includes pop, dance, and R&B music. The label was founded in late 2010, with Governor and Hot Rod as its first two signings. The first official music released under the label was Hot Rod's single "Dance With Me." It was believed that 50 Cent intended to sign more acts, including R&B singer Jovan Dais, who was featured on the original version of his single "Baby By Me," Zimbabwean singer Gamu Nhengu, and singer Jeremih, with whom he had recently worked on projects. The second single released on the label was Governor's "Here We Go Again," featuring 50 Cent.
