G-Unit Records recently parted ways with the Interscope label, and according to rapper Lloyd Banks, it's for the better.
Banks is still working on his untitled upcoming album, and admitted to AllHipHop.com during a recent interview that there isn't a set date yet.
"We're aiming for a summer release, late summer," Banks said.
"It's not a stamp date, but that's [what] I'm headed for. This is my year. That's the other thing. When you are working independent, you can decide when...sometimes when you are working for a label, they put you on that time clock. Sometimes, things can get forced."
The New York rapper is still riding high off of the success of his street single Beamer, Benz, or Bentley featuring Juelz Santana from his latest mixtape V5.
"Based on the response that I've gotten from Beamer, Benz, or Bentley, the artist is more powerful than you think...When I did the Officer Down -- the response to Rick Ross -- it was already 700 - 800 thousand free download before we even made the deal with iTunes. Before they approached me and I still sold 60 or 70 thousand."
Fellow NY rapper Fabolous will reportedly join Banks and Santana on the remix to Beamer, Benz, or Bentley, which is expected to land online soon.
