Lloyd Banks is one of the most consistent rappers in the game, and he's got longevity too, but he's also one of the most lowkey. He's not out here like his G-Unit partner 50 Cent trolling and looking for limelight. When he finally comes out of hiding to release music, it's usually an event, at least for his cult following, among which I count myself, shout out me. 

On Monday, Lloyd Banks gave fans something to look forward to when he announced that he’s dropping a new mixtape in a matter of days called All Or Nothing: Live It Up.

Originally set to arrive on Monday, DJ Whoo Kid’s unreleased Lost Flash Drive mixtape with G-Unit hasn’t see the light of day yet, and is reportedly now dropping tomorrow (8/30). But while we wait, Whoo Kid decides to share one of the tracks to hold us over in the meantime called “Set The Pick” featuring Young Buck, Lloyd Banks, Kidd Kidd & Tony Yayo.

Throwback Thursday means more classic freestyles from the extensive vaults of Tim Westwood. This week, Westwood blesses us with a Lloyd Banks freestyle from 2004. Banks absolutely goes off on Fat Joe’s “Lean Back” beat, spitting almost continuously for the entire 5 and a half minute track. Westwood has to run the beat back more than once to accommodate Lloyd Bank’s prolific rapping.

Lloyd Banks returned today with a new mixtape, Halloween Havoc 2, which arrived, funnily enough, the night after Halloween. In any case, fans were grateful to receive the first new project from Banks since 2013. And it's not just a novelty project -- HH2 contains 13 new tracks and some dope production, including a noteworthy beat from Araab Muzik, who shows up on "Angel Dust." 

In April, Lloyd Banks released a trio of freestyles over the course of two weeks.

It looks like Lloyd Banks isn't slowing down. After hitting us with “Criminology” and “Serial Killa” these past two weeks, the G-Unit member decides to come through tonight and liberate yet another new freestyle over The Pharcyde's classic cut “Passing Me By”.

Lloyd Banks blessed the mic today, deploying his trademark raspy delivery and tight flow over the instrumental from Snoop Dogg's G-funk classic "Serial Killa." With "Criminology" and "How Many MCs" under his belt, "Serial Killa" marks Banks' third freestyle in two weeks.

Ever since The Beast dropped a couple months back, the G-Unit members have been heavy on their freestyle tip.

G-Unit is killing the freestyle game right now. Kidd Kidd started it off with daily leaks coinciding with his Freshmen petition, then Tony Yayo went in over a Rakim beat, and now another vet, Lloyd Banks, is keeping things old-school with bars over Black Moon's classic "How Many MC's". 

Just last night we got a new leak from Young Buck, with the high-energy banger "Count Me Out." DJ Whoo Kid is back today with yet another leak from the G-Unit member, alongside fellow G-Unit rapper Lloyd Banks, Gotti and Lil Reese. "Exclusive" serves as cut from Buck's upcoming Before The Beast mixtape, which we learned about the other day. It's slated to drop in time for the upcoming NBA All-Star Weekend, with a release date of February 12th.

On Saturday, G-Unit shared "Big Body Benz," the first of two bonus tracks included on the physical edition of their Beauty Of Independence EP available exclusively at Best Buy. Today, the second, "Ease Up," has been freed.

On Tuesday, November 10th, G-Unit will be releasing their EP The Beauty Of Independence on physical copies, partnering with Best Buy for a deluxe, limited edition that will feature two bonus tracks. Along with "Ease Up," the Ky Miller-produced "Big Body Benz" will show up on there -- and now you can stream it via the group's SoundCloud.

G-Unit are back with a vengeance, sounding like they never left (or beefed). After surprising us with their The Beauty Of Independence EP, the crew continues their slaughter of beats, with a new freestyle over Troy Ave's "All About The Money."

Perhaps nothing displays The Beauty Of Independence better than the ability to release music how you want to, when you want to. Out to flex their newfound abilities, 50 and company returned today with a brand new six-track EP to hold fans over to their album drop later this year.  "Changes," a highlight off of the new EP, features 50 addressing his broken relationship with Dre and Jimmy Iovine over headphones while the rest of the Unit spits about changes of their own.

After a slew of freestyles over some of the hottest beats, G-Unit return this Monday morning with some more new music! The reunited 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Young Buck and Tony Yayo, plus Kidd Kidd, give us an old school feel on "Come Up" which DJ Envy premiered this morning. We recently had a poll on the best G-Unit freestyle since their return, and the very first one "Nah I'm Talkin' 'Bout" won the vote.

G-Unit are back with a vengeance since their Summer Jam reunion two weeks ago. Plus Kidd Kidd. Today the Unit returns with another new mix, after delivering fresh remixes of Drake's "0 To 100" and HS87 "Grindin' My Whole Life," they decide to use Trey Songz and Jeezy's "Ordinary." 

50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo and Young Buck have reunited once more (we won't be using the term 'reunion' for much longer, it seems).

It's Throwback Thursday all over the internets today, and since we've had a lot of G-Unit talk recently  from 50 Cent and Tony Yayo in various interviews, we decided to throw up some classic G-Unit back when they were all on good terms.

Looks like we've got a new leak off of the upcoming BSB Vol. 4 mix, this time in the form of his remix, (erm, Keymix?) to Ty Dolla $ign's stellar "Paranoid." Does Troy Ave's version destroy Ty Dolla's own or does it pale in comparison? Maybe it doesn't need to be a competition, as Troy Ave displays his strengths fluidly here.
