Lloyd Banks was born Christopher Lloyd in Baltimore, Maryland and was raised in the South Jamaica section of the Queens borough of New York City, New York. His mother is Puerto Rican and his father was African-American. His parents were young and never married. His father spent most of Banks’ childhood in prison because of his status as a repeat offender “squeegie guy”. This left Banks’ mother to raise Banks and his siblings alone. Young Christopher Lloyd had the responsibility of taking care of his younger brothers when his mother went out. Like many kids around him, Banks felt trapped in the cycle of poverty and violence, and found his haven in words.
Banks started writing something resembling poetry at a young age and it started taking form, but Banks wouldn’t share it with the outside world. Eventually, he got the courage one day and rapped his rhymes on the streets of Jamaica, Queens. People’s reaction to it stunned him. Many said he should record them. So he wasted no time in his pursuit to be a rapper. His mother was responsible for nurturing Banks’ early desire to be a rapper. She would play hip hop music around the house and took Banks to his first hip hop concert. His rap heroes were Big Daddy Kane, Rakim and Slick Rick, three men who influenced his own style
