The Big Withdraw was intended to be Lloyd Banks's second album. The album was leaked to the internet after Banks had a ménage à trois encounter with two women and left the CD album behind The leaked version of the album contained 23 tracks.

During an interview, Lloyd Banks commented on the issue, he said:


"It's truth to that rumor. That comes from me doing too much. I was just lost in my ways, fukked two women at one time. It's the little things you don't pay attention to. I had the CD in an actual DJ Whoo Kid mixtape cover. It was just a blank CD with just tracks. I got over 70, 80 tracks, so you can't get them all on one CD. So I might have had 14 tracks of the last two weeks or something like that. Next thing I know, can't find the CD. I'm assuming it had to be from one of those situations when you got too much going on around you. Maybe I'mma just stick to one girl from now on. That's the only explanation that makes sense. Sticky fingers"

You can listen to that here brehs if you have not listend to it before. shyt was better than the Rotten Apple fo sure

It was alright, very repetitive productions and content wise, not some game changing epic album. Standard 2006 era Banks shyt, while some of it was fire, a lot was forgettable. I think 'Rotten Apple' ended up having more standouts anyway.

That is Banks best album, and his only great album.

To the dude above, "standard 2006 era Banks"? Have you heard the album. Standard G-Unit at that time would have been big production and big radio songs. The album was the opposite. Banks dropped a grimy, dark, lyrical as fukk vicious almost prime NY era album. There was NOTHING commercial, or G-Unit about that album.

That's when I became a massive Banks fan. G-Unit was the top dogs at the time, and rather than deliver another "hit" album, he delivered something completely different.

Who knows where Banks would have been if this was never leaked.
