Lloyd Banks Is Dropping His New ‘All or Nothing: Live It Up’ Mixtape in Less Than a Week

Lloyd Banks is putting the finishing touches on his new All or Nothing: Live It Up mixtape with DJ Drama. Now, the veteran rapper takes to Instagram to share the official release date of Sept. 25.

Live it Up will be the second installment in the G-Unit MC's All or Nothing series. The 34-year-old Maryland-born, NYC native released the first volume in 2013. F.N.O. (Failure’s No Option) contained 16 tracks and was also hosted by DJ Drama. Raekwon, Styles P, Vado and Mr. Probz made guest appearances on the project. Production was handled by the likes of AraabMuzik, Tha Jerm, Ty Nitty and Doe Pesci.

XXL’s Ariana LaBarrie reviewed F.N.O. at the time of release, typing, “Although F.N.O. has powerful moments of hard-headed determination, where the project fails is its lack of progressiveness and timeliness. At best, a mixtape like this should provide a glimpse into an artist’s worldview, discuss current issues within the rap game and society, or display a new stylistic approach.”

In other Banks-related news, the Hunger for More musician reunited with former running mate The Game back in February for a photo-opp. It was the first time either of them had been pictured together in years, and it definitely brought a smile to the face of any rap fan from the mid-’00s. G-Unit frontman 50 Cent had some words about the IG picture. In an interview, Fif' said the picture was solely taken for publicity.
