As promised by 50 Cents, Young Buck started recording his first album, the rhymes an words ringing in his head for many years, it was the moment had had been waiting for a long time. Young Buck grabbed the opportunity with both hands and immersed himself into the project with all his determination and aggression.

But it was his fight with 50 Cents which created a lot of controversy for the artist. 50 Cents released a tape conversation between the two which clearly showed the reason for the feud was that Young Buck owed 50 Cents money

In 2006 he started to create his own record label “G-Unit South” which had initial support from Jimmy Iovin’s Interscope Records, but the plan fizzled out. He then started using the name Cashville and signed several artists like Outlawz and C-Bo.  He was able to negotiate and get a deal with RED Distribution part of Sony Music.
