Lloyd Banks Talks Album, Kanye & More

With a quintessential album release approaching (Nov. 22nd) for G-Unit’s current power player Lloyd Banks, YRB stopped by his new home, EMI Music, to converse with the PLK himself. The Queens bred rapper unveils what it was like going the independent route, breaks down Beamer, Benz or Bentley’s explosion onto radio, plus rediscovering past energy not felt since his debut LP and writing The Hunger For More 2 solely under his own direction. Also touched upon is his reaction to Kanye’s praise, recording classic collaborations with West among others and establishing benchmarks for the future wave of rap hopefuls. (YRB)
