Lloyd Banks drops ‘Painted Houses’ Freestyle feat. Vado.
After giving us ‘Huntin Season‘ and ‘Cold Summer‘ last week, Lloyd Banks continues releasing new freebies as he drops another new freestyle called ‘Painted Houses‘. It is assisted by Vado.
On Cold Summers, it appeared that he was responding to 50 Cent’s comments in his latest book in his own unique way. He later denied it, however.
Banks appears to be channeling Martin Scorsese’s new film The Irishman on the tune, perfectly interjecting pop culture references and hitman undertones as he raps about painting houses and claiming his legacy. “I don’t expect peasants to recognize greatness, you used to riddles/Future zeros/Where I’m from, make it out, you a superhero/You droppin’ sh*t like The Irishman, new and improved De Niro,”. He starts off with the first verse. He does so over a raw NYC boom-bap rhythm from Beat Butcha, which was originally used for Griselda’s “Fire in the Booth” with Charlie Sloth, letting Banks and Vado unload their famous street lines about anything from smuggling bands to mowing down opps.
Listen to it below.
