Even though T.I. is under house arrest and waiting for his trial, he's been on the grind recording numerous songs, including the Lupe Fiasco - Superstar remix with Young Jeezy and T.I.
A T.I. representative said that we should expect a large number of guest appearances with Tip. With recent news surfacing about the G Unit Gangsta Grillz mixtape, it's a huge possibility that T.I. would be on a song or several songs with 50 and the Unit.
T.I.'s new single for his album Paper Trail should be coming out in the near future. Paper Trail is going to drop sometime in September.

50 CENT AND DJ DRAMA WORKING ON G UNIT GANGSTA GRILLZ
It has been confirmed that 50 Cent and DJ Drama are working together to compile a G Unit Gangsta Grillz mixtape. Drama claims that both him and 50 are monsters in the game and that this mixtape is going to turn out hot. Drama says that 50 said it's about time for G Unit to get hot in the south. A couple weeks after Elephant In The Sand dropped on ThisIs50.com, 50 Cent called up Drama and inquired about starting this new mixtape.
DJ Whoo Kid is also going to be heavily involved on the project, and Drama says we should expect some comedic skits on the mixtape as well.
50 Cent has been busy at work showing his hunger as an artist again with several mixtape releases. This upcoming mixtape just adds to the list and shows 50 Cent isn't done in the rap game yet.

YOUNG BUCK STILL DOWN WITH THE UNIT
With rumors floating around and the article recently surfacting about Young Buck not getting royalty checks from 50 Cent and G Unit, Sha Money XL has stated that all these accusations are false.
Young Buck has released 2 commercial albums under the G Unit Imprint, Straight Outta Cashville (2004) and Buck The World (2007).
According to earlier rumors, Buck wasn't getting paid for his work from royalties from 50, but these rumors were shot down by Sha Money XL.
"I, as Buck’s manager and as former President of G-Unit Records want to make it clear: that is false. Young Buck has cleared over $10 million dollars working under 50 Cent’s and my guidance.” says Sha Money XL
Young Buck is expected to be on the 2nd G Unit group album Shoot To Kill.
Sha Money XL also denied rumors of Young Buck planning to leave G Unit, claiming that people start rumors to attempt to divide and conquer the group and saying that these tactics won't work on G Unit.

GREEN LANTERN TO HAVE MUSIC ON GTA 4
DJ Green Lantern, known for his mixtapes including the Invasion mixtapes back when 50 and Ja Rule were beefing, is said to have his own radio station in the newest Grand Theft Auto game coming out, Grand Theft Auto 4.
In the game, when you steal a car, you will be able to tune into his radio station in the car and listen to exclusive tracks that he produced for the game. This will be in addition to several other radio stations to choose from in the game.
DJ Green Lantern is proud of this achievement, and rightfully so, from starting as a mixtape DJ, to getting on the radio, to making exclusive tracks for one of the most anticipated games of the year.
Grand Theft Auto 4 is the sequel to GTA 3 which came out in 2001 with a lot of controversy regarding its glorification of violence and crime. Many critics have had a lot to say about the moral corruption of this game, while others are fans of the game and love it for it's entertainment value.
