Lloyd Banks, raised in Jamaica, Queens by his Puerto
Rican mother--his father spent much of his son's childhood behind
bars. Like many young men, he found solace amidst the poverty and ruin
of his community through ghetto poetry and the work of rappers like
Big Daddy Kane and Slick Rick.
He dropped out of high school at the age of sixteen,
finding the structured environment a hindrance to his developing
talent for rhyming. After appearing on numerous local "mixtapes",
Banks, along with childhood friends Tony Yayo and 50 Cent formed a
crew called G Unit, a group that proceeded to redefine the term
"street marketing" with a series of self-released albums that included
original numbers and quality artwork.
Loyd Banks stayed on with 50 Cent, appearing on the
artist's--now classic--2003 debut Get Rich Or Die Tryin'--November of
that same year saw the release of G Unit's Beg For Mercy. His long
awaited solo debut for G Unit/Interscope Records, Hunger For More, was
released in June 2004.
