V.5

Lloyd Banks

Gritty, unpolished street rap recorded with a cold-weather chill. A masterclass in monotone punchlines and dusty, soul-sampled production.

December 28, 2009

Find on Amazon

A cold, cynical, and technically brilliant exploration of street life and personal isolation.

Moments Worth Listening For
The claustrophobic atmosphere of Shitty City Pt2 where the beat feels like it's closing in on the vocals.
The stark vulnerability in Only Human where the raspy delivery drops to a near-whisper.
The relentless barrage of wordplay on Big Bully that serves as a final defiant statement.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
