The Beast Is G Unit is the second and final extended play (EP) by American hip hop group G-Unit. The EP was released on March 3, 2015, by G-Unit Records.[1]
The Beast Is G Unit received positive reviews from music critics. Homer Johnsen of HipHopDX said, "The G-Unit sound has changed for the better. There is no one specific musical style that they emulate, which is both refreshing, and interesting from a critical standpoint. In just over six months, the Unit has released two major EPs, while shaking off the rust and deciding on a new direction. Everybody shows up, and 50 doesn’t steal the spotlight. The Beast is G-Unit is a solid EP with the potential to inspire an equally effective studio LP. If 2014 was any indication, G-Unit won’t be settling down anytime soon."[3] Dan Rys of XXL said, "But if you’re craving some new G-Unit, the EP will satisfy that urge. There’s plenty of 50 Cent menace, Young Buck grit, Tony Yayo wildness and Lloyd Banks lyricism in these bars, while Kidd Kidd acquits himself well throughout. The production doesn’t follow the cut-and-paste, ratchet bounce sound that coats the hip-hop landscape around them, making the project stand out sonically from the pack."[4]
