here's a little background for everyone who doesn't know me/know about me (which is probly most of my friend list)...
i was born christopher lloyd, but when i started rappin i took on the name lloyd banks. most everyone calls me banks, lloyd, or l. but my family still calls me chris, though.
i grew up in the south side of jamaica, queens (new york city). i was born, raised, and my moms still lives there. that's my home. my teenage years weren't that great. i was kicked outta 3 different high schools in queens, cause of discipline problems an shit.
i'm only 20 (turnin 21 this year), but i started rappin when i was 12 years old. i met up with curt (
50cent) and marv (tony yayo) in 1999 an we started freestylin together. we decided to form a group, which is what G-Unit is.
i never hustled for money, an i don't do any 'hard' drugs. i don't even really drink that much. i have been in some confrontations wit people... an i was shot twice in sept. 2001. but i'm all good now, healed up, through rehab, all that.
aside from just puttin out a mix-tape, i have a full length cd comin out soon, too.
my best friends right now are curt, yayo an buck... wit yayo in jail, we don't get to see each other, but we're on the phone every chance we get.
