Lloyd Banks aka The PLK is putting the finishing touched on his third album, 'HFM2'. With G-Unit's track record you can understand why Banks has been selective with the features.
Blue Hefner recruited Dipset's Juelz Santana for the album's first smash single "Beamer, Benz or Bentley".
On the second single Banks knew he needed to add the right touch to the club banger "Any Girl", so he brought in R&B crooner Lloyd.
When Banks spoke to Rap-Up.com he explained why he felt Lloyd made the perfect choice for the record.
“I was always a fan and I felt like he made good music,” Banks said. “But just under the circumstances, [a collaboration] couldn’t happen at the time because he was with the other guys—Murder Inc.” Since Lloyd broke free from his old team, the collaboration just made sense “I knew he was going to hop to it,” Banks states. “He’s a hustler ’cause he’s been independent, so he knows what the grind is and he doesn’t have too many barriers to go over in terms of getting clearance.”
Once the two hit the studio together, they knocked the joint out in no time.
“In the session, it probably took about maybe an hour tops,” Banks reveals. “Lloyd’s easy to work with. He has ideas and he’s not afraid to experiment. He came in and nailed [what I wanted]. I’ve had records that are written and people may feel a little funny about re-vocalling it because it’s written by a rapper opposed to another singer. People don’t really know that I wrote all the R&B choruses on my albums.”
