Lloyd Banks chats to I Like Music

With his sophomore album release, The Rotten Apple, (out October 9th) Lloyd Banks has well and truly proved himself as an artist in his own right. "My last album was great but I think that I need to let people know more about me, to make that connection," he says. "That's why with this album I just focused on my punchlines and my overall content." Indeed, it was Banks' punchlines which first earned him acclaim on the New York mixtape scene.

Verses on street classics like "Banks Workout" and "Bad News" heralded him as the rapper to beat. 50 wrote the hooks that the whole world sung, but it was Banks who blew away the competition." His contributions to unforgettable mixtapes like 50 Cent Is the Future and No Mercy No Fear earned him an undeniable street buzz as G-Unit's most lyrical soldier.

Banks further solidified his standing with stellar performances on both 50 Cent's 10 times platinum, universally hailed classic debut Get Rich Or Die Trying, and on the 3 times platinum G-Unit debut Beg For Mercy. In fact, he secured the third single, "Smile" from the aforementioned G-Unit release. "With those albums we were just in the zone," he says.
