Since my birthday is today and I am an 80's baby, I thought I'd bring you a mixtape from the Punchline King, Lloyd Banks entitled 80's Baby. Lloyd has always been hot on the mixtape circuit and this one is no exception. Though Banks gained notoriety as a member of 50 Cent's G-Unit, He broke out on his own with 2004's number one album The Hunger for More
and, even though he kept the rhythm going on mixtapes, his second studio album Rotten Apple
failed to make an impression and ultimately lead to his dismissal from Interscope Records. Now, most artists would be devastated at receiving a pink slip, but Banks jumped back on the train he rode in on with a barrage of new material in mixtape format. Lloyd even went so far as to release his new song, Beamer, Benz, or Bentley with no major label promotion, a move that helped him reach #49 on the Billboard Hot 100. Interscope is now regretting their decision to drop Banks and is in talks to re-sign him based on the success of the single. Anyway, peep the 80's Baby mixtape and remember to look out for The Hunger for More 2.
