Lloyd Banks Information
|
|
'Lloyd Banks' (born 'Christopher Lloyd', New Carrollton, Maryland, USA, April 30, 1982). Later moved to Queens, New York USA when he was six years old. Lloyd Banks is the youngest member of the hip hop group G-Unit. His solo debut album The Hunger For More, includes the hit singles "On Fire" and "I'm So Fly". Though he does not often mention this fact, Lloyd Banks is part Puerto Rican, as well as African American.
Lloyd Banks also has a strong presence on the mixtape circuit. He has released a number of mixtapes, mainly with DJ and producer DJ Whoo Kid, including Mo Money In The Bank Parts 1, 2, and 3. Banks' reputation is based on his ability as a punch-line rapper, meaning that his verses often contain many one-to-two bar sets of lyrics (often metaphorical or with similes) that are amusing by themselves, with no context.
Banks has since been readying himself for his second crack at the throne, with an as-yet unset release date (Probably due late-2006) of his upcoming second album, called The Big Withdraw.
His two younger brothers Tony and Damon appear in Banks' video for "Smile" as younger versions of the rapper.
