Though busy juggling his countless tasks, former G-Unit President Sha Money XL caught up with SOHH to discuss his scoring of the Freestyle Street Basketball online video game and his new role with the Unit.
Sha Money recently expanded his production resume by scoring Sierra Online's "Freestyle Basketball" video game. Partnering with Marc Ecko, the game allows players to face each other as well as dress their virtual players with Ecko, G-Unit, Zoo York and Avirex clothing among other brands. In addition to Sha's score, the game also features exclusive freestyles from Lloyd Banks, Hot Rod and Sha's new artist, Riz.
"From my experience doing the 50 [Cent] video game, they called me back in to come check out this new online game, 'Freestyle Basketball,'" Sha told SOHH. "They showed me the different scenes and how it's gonna look. So I knew to make some music with the moods. So I went hands-on and did the beats myself and had some musicians with me to get the live feel for the scoring. I didn't do no samples."
While online video games may not have reached PS3 and Xbox type of prominence, Sha is confident that it could in the future.
"If they get a quarter of what they was getting in Asia, this is success, if, you know, 32 million people are playing this game in Asia right now," Sha explained. "It's live in five Asian countries so, you coming over here with the kids who like to play video games with someone, this is something where they get to play with a person that's gonna be live on the other end. You can play one-on-ones, two-on-twos or three-on-threes."
The Queens, NY mogul also took the time to clarify his position within G-Unit. Early rumors claimed Sha was terminated from his post while reports later revealed that he simply had a different role. Though he doesn't have a title at G-Unit Records anymore, he's still part of the squad's fold through his Money Management Group company.
