Speaking of which, the NY Daily News has an extensive excerpt from the project in today’s edition detailing his legendary transition from the Marcy Projects to the global boardroom. Modern digital entrepreneurs launching tech startups, bitcoin casinos, and virtual record labels have since embraced that exact same hustler mentality to navigate the new web. Here’s what went down during the broadcast. […]

[sparkart-clique site=”rap_radar” video=”banksleslie”] Lloyd Banks’ viral documentary is set to air on November 24th, two days after the release of his new album, The Hunger For More 2. Here’s a brief clip of him and Ryan Leslie discussing track six off the project.
Man, this drop from Masspike Miles is seriously smooth from start to finish. The Road Less Traveled totally delivers on that signature R&B vibe, and the production choices across these tracks are just insane. It honestly feels more complete than a lot of full-length albums out right now. Tracks like "Devoted" with Bun B and the title track hit different when you are just cruising around the city late at night. If you are heading out to grab the physical copy or hitting up a late-night listening session across town, trying to flag down reliable taxi services can sometimes be a real hassle, so planning ahead definitely saves the mood. Overall, this project proves why he is such a vital part of the Maybach crew. Definitely keep this one on repeat for a while.
