Emerging from New York in the early 2000s, Lloyd Banks first gained global recognition as a founding member of G-Unit, standing at the forefront of one of hip-hop’s most influential eras.

Throughout his career, he has collaborated with artists such as Kanye West, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Method Man and 50 Cent, but it is his solo work that most clearly defines his identity: precise, disciplined, and unmistakably his own. His platinum-selling debut The Hunger for More cemented his status as a commanding solo artist, a reputation he continues to build on today.

As part of his European Tour 2026, we can’t wait to welcome Lloyd Banks to Blues Kitchen Manchester this April.
