Lloyd Banks

RJ Payne Taps Lloyd Banks For New Single, “BANKS MEETS PAYNE”

by

RJ Payne is undeniably one of the most consistent names in the underground hip-hop scene. His work ethic combines with his lethal bars to make him one of the most respected emcees in the game.

On Friday (January 6), he returned to drop off his newest single, “BANKS MEETS PAYNE” featuring none other than G-Unit rapper, Lloyd Banks.

On the new link-up, the two rappers do what they’re both best known for; spit relentless bars. The “BULLETS AND BROKEN GLASS” rapper kicks the track off by immediately asserting his presence and dominance. After declaring that everybody else in the rap game is dead, he gets right to it.

“We did a lot more than heat up the game / I feel we flammable / Empty the clip like, ‘keep the change, you filthy animal’ / They built a cannibal, tell the killers, ‘come chill with Hannibal,” Payne raps explicitly. The murderous bars and horror movie inspiration are characteristics evidently riddled throughout the rest of his discography.

Banks fits right in over the haunting production, subsequently spitting a verse reminiscent of his prime days. “Ripped out my patient coat, a few screws loose / I’m a schizo rappin’, no compassion,” spits the “Beamer, Benz, Or Bentley” rapper during his verse.

The fiery new song represents the duo’s first time officially teaming up on a track, but we certainly hope it will happen again soon.

One of Payne’s most successful songs to date follows a similar format. It’s 2020’s “Butcher Meets Leatherface,” which finds him squaring off with Benny The Butcher.

Last year alone, the Brooklyn native dropped three projects. The first of which, BEAUTIFUL PAYNE 4, arrived in January. The seventh instalment of his notorious IF COCAINE COULD TALK series came in March, followed by the seven-track BLOOD ON MY CHAINSAW in April. Furthermore, the original mixtape in his aforementioned ICCT series came to streaming services before the year’s end.

Quotable Lyrics:

These rappers hatin’, I ain’t movin’ an inch
Stupid decision, shootin’ stars, superhuman event
Cocaina, they think a n*gga come from Cuban descent
Itchy trigger finger, don’t make me shoot at you in defense

Lloyd Banks Speaks on Current Relationship with 50 Cent

Lloyd Banks Responds to Rick Ross Diss: 'I'll Never Join The Circus'

Lloyd Banks recently addressed his relationship with 50 Cent in an interview with GQ.

The status of their relationship seemed uncertain after the G-Unit founder referred to Bank’s lack of evolution and called him “lazy” in his 2020 book, Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter. Given 50’s history, anything he has said publicly about someone, there is a good chance he has told them in private as well.

Despite 50’s accountability comment about Lloyd Banks, the two are “brothers.”

“It’s the same. We’re brothers,” Banks told GQ when asked about his relationship with 50 Cent. “We came into this together—we’re never all going to be doing the same thing at the same time at this point in our careers. You know what I mean? The last conversation I had with 50 was basically him telling me to get whatever I left out there. Because some hiatuses were planned and some weren’t.”

Banks also expressed his gratitude towards 50 Cent and G-Unit’s heyday.

We did something special that will never be done again,” said the “Power Steering” rapper. “Honestly, there are more positive moments than anything else.

Banks added that he can’t “cry about spilled milk.” As a result, he must take the initiative to make things happen. It is evident that Banks lives by these words with the release of his latest project.

The Course of The Inevitable 2 is a sequel to his previous 2021 release. The album features Jadakiss, Dave East Benny The Butcher, Conway the Machine and more.
