Love that Lloyd Banks is just making his mixtapes on DSP’s now. When mixtapes were a thing he was that dude, and that has not changed, only difference is the quality and the fact that mixtapes are pretty much albums now and no one really knows the difference anymore. Its a long listen but he makes sure you understand how dope he is. Flows, raps, punchlines, relevance, dope beats and one of the coldest hip hop cadences you will ever hear. This is light to him, to the point where even on tracks with heavy hitters hes just lightly sparring and controlling the track. Replay value, pacing, and just non stop dope music is what you get on this. Its consistent and you can’t help but feel like he has a few of these in the tuck. Easily in rotation and gonna be on the top 10 for most 90’s rap heads for the next few months.
