Album Watch - Day 19 - Lloyd Banks: Gang Green


Let's face it. Lloyd Banks hasn't been in top of his game for a long time now. His shit on Beg For Mercy was hot, his first LP (The Hunger For More) was hot, and his spots on the Get Rich Or Die Tryin Sound Track were sick too. Since then, he released his sophomore album, The Rotten Apple, in 06. It was a disappoint though. It had some good tracks, but most were average and the whole album had a cheap feel to it. But now, Banks is looking to bounce back harder then ever, with this 3rd effort: "Gang Green". In an interview with MTV, Sha Money XL spoke about Lloyd Banks' third album,

"The album he's working on is amazing and he's coming back like Jay-Z after Sunshine. Sometimes you get that one album that don’t connect, but Banks' fans is still with him. He's still touring and doing shows like shit is all the way right. He's coming to beat their heads in — he on some lyrical exercise."

Rumors have been going around that Gang Green will be released as a double disc and may feature a track with Jay-Z and NaS. Producers Black Milk and Nick Speed have announced that they have produced for the album. You can also expect to see production from Sha Money XL, Eminem, 9th Wonder and Havoc.
