Lloyd Banks chats to I Like Music

I Like Music caught up with Lloyd Banks before his Rotten Apple album and Hands Up single release, to talk about his new material, what he's learned from working with Eminem and Dr Dre, writing in 6th grade and networking!

"I like music because… music has got me into a very good position in life and inspired me since a kid, and hopefully my music will inspire other kids to get out there and do the same thing. It makes me zone. Music is my everything!"
LLOYD BANKS

ILM: So, your new single, Hands Up is out on October 16th. We think it's awesome. Can you give us your own personal description of the track and its whole vibe?

BANKS: Oh man, that record is kinda like part two of my first single off my first album On Fire; it's in a similar vein, it's a club record. Eminem worked with me on that one. It was officially produced by Dangerous LLC. And I sent it to Em after the vocals had been laid and he put his magic to it and sent it back. This is actually my second time working Em, and 50 Cent and Jesse Terrero, who directed the video, so it was like Deja Vus. It's a good feeling to have the support of someone like Em behind you, he jumps to my projects every time to get it rolling, and it just worked out that way. At the end of the day, if it ain't broke don't fix it y'know, if the formula works.
