Mini bio
How it started.
Curtis Jackson grew up in South Jamaica, Queens. Jam Master Jay helped him learn song structure and songwriting. After an early deal with Columbia and the attention around “How to Rob,” he survived a shooting and rebuilt his audience through mixtapes with G-Unit.
The breakout.
Eminem and Dr. Dre became key supporters. His 2003 debut Get Rich or Die Tryin’ brought together the party record “In Da Club,” “Many Men (Wish Death)” and “21 Questions” with Nate Dogg. The Massacre followed in 2005, with “Candy Shop” featuring Olivia and “Just a Lil Bit.”
Beyond the records.
He moved into acting, including the 2005 film Get Rich or Die Tryin’, and became an executive producer and co-star of Power. G-Unit Film & Television expanded into crime dramas and documentaries, including BMF and Sean Combs: The Reckoning. His G-Unity Foundation supports programs that help young people build leadership and business skills.
What he is making now.
His recent work moves between music, screen roles and producing. In 2026 he released the extended “No One Told Us” with Leon Thomas and Fetty Wap, joined the team behind a DMX podcast, and played Balrog in Street Fighter.
