1970 Something

Lloyd Banks

A murky, short-form collection of dusty soul loops and gravelly street poetry. Stripped of radio polish, it feels like a lost transmission from a Queens basement.

It's Banks at his grittiest, rapping over beats that sound like they were dug out of a crate in 1974.

A cold, focused, and deeply atmospheric meditation on street life and lyrical craft.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The claustrophobic tension of the title track where the beat feels like it might collapse under the weight of the bars.
The sudden, jarring cut-to-black ending of Dead Nigga Storage that leaves the listener in total silence.
The relentless, breathless delivery on 70 Bars where the lack of a hook emphasizes the technical precision of the rhyme scheme.
