| Tony Yayo _ the star treatment! |
Marvin Bernard (born March 31, 1978),[1] better known by his stage name Tony
Yayo, is an American rapper and part of the rap group G-Unit.
Growing up with 50 Cent and Lloyd Banks, they formed the group G-Unit.
They released several successful mixtapes together, slowly creating a buzz
for themselves on the streets of New York. With the success of their
mixtapes, Tony Yayo quickly made a name for himself in the rap circuit.
On December 31, 2002, nearly a year before the release of G-Unit's much
anticipated album, Beg for Mercy, Tony Yayo was arrested along with 50 Cent
on weapons-possession charges. During a background check, police
discovered Yayo had an outstanding warrant for a previous
weapons-possession charge. In early 2003, he was sentenced for
bail-jumping and would remain in jail until the beginning of 2004. As a result,
he was unable to record for the album and was therefore only featured on
two tracks that had been recorded before.

During Tony Yayo's imprisonment, G-Unit became
increasingly popular. They started a campaign called
"Free Yayo". Many G-Unit videos featured the group's
members wearing "Free Yayo" t-shirts, but Yayo
himself was unaware of the attention he was
receiving. The prison inmates that Yayo shared a
television with preferred watching sports rather than
music videos.
While his appearances on mixtapes announced his
return on the street level, his summer hit "So
Seductive" let the rest of the world know. In August,
while his single was dominating urban radio, MTV,
and BET, Yayo released his debut, Thoughts of a
Predicate Felon.[5] The other singles that were
released from this album were: "Curious", "Pimpin'",
"Drama Setter", and "I Know You Don’t Love Me".
Godfather of the Ghetto is the second album from G-
Unit rapper Tony Yayo. The first street single is "It's a
Stick Up", featuring
Mazaradi FOX and Snoop From The Wire. A video
was shot for that single and can be seen on Tony
Yayo's MySpace page. Tony Yayo
has also recorded a track with DMX along with 50
Cent on a track titled "50 Reasons". In a recent
interview with 106 & Park Tony Yayo
stated that the album will be released after 50 Cent's
album, Curtis. [6]
