Lloyd Banks chats to I Like Music

ILM: The album features production credits from: Eminem, Timbaland, and Sha Money XL, plus Havoc (of Mobb Deep) and JR Rotem. You must learn so much from having all these different people producing. Is there one lesson you've learned that stands out?

BANKS: There's a couple. The first time I worked with Dr Dre… I'm always prepared and always have my verses ready, but they hear things that you don't really hear. He had me stacking my vocals more than I usually stack 'em, and at the end of it you understand what he's actually hearing, and you add that into what you do from time to time…as well as Eminem. They have a programme which actually opens your vocals and it can take it a lot of ways to a lot of different places. He did that with Hands Up my first single. It didn't actually sound like that when I gave to him, it just came back that way, because producers hear things that artists don't hear.

ILM: Yeah, they've got crazy ears man.
