Lloyd Banks - We Run the Town
Artist: Lloyd Banks
Featuring: Vado
Producer: Automatik
Album: V6: The Gift
Label: G-Unit/EMI/Capitol
Nominally, NYC is under the jurisdiction of Mayor Michael Bloomberg, but we all know who’s really pulling the strings. No, I’m not talking about the Illuminati, but rather a certain emcee whose name starts with “Lloyd” and ends with “Banks.” On newly-leaked mixtape cut We Run the Town, the G-Unit mainstay informs listeners that, whatever those in City Hall have to say about it, he and his crew have dominion over the block. Segueing from an oddball intro sampled from English pop singer Barry Ryan’s ‘68 single Eloise, into a string/brass groove befitting a braggadocious street banger, Audiomatik provides the instrumental backdrop for Banks’ imperious declarations of supremacy over his ‘hood. Harlem rhymesayer Vado assists on the guest tip, staking his own claim on executive power in a blustrous, aggressively-flowed second verse. Craving more bangers from the self-proclaimed lord and magistrate of the Rotten Apple? Then watch the Booth for the latest on Banks’ V6 street album, which still lacks a solid drop date.

This is fresh. Love the opening sample, the production, and Banks demeanor. Didn't really care for Vado's contribution, though.

Youtube Lil Neek/Spend the Night. This song is a true classic and Neek has a nice ass flow. Sounds like something Jigga woulda been on back in the day.
