“With short, uneven phrases and a rise-and-fall style that approximates the patterns of speech, he seems intent on developing a fresh approach that is as mesmerizing as it is unpredictable.” – Complex
Forever finding creative ways to stunt on his skills and his success, BandGang Lonnie Bands is one of the most promising young rappers in Detroit. Riding an ascending cadence over a spare, dramatic, and infectious piano-laden beat from producer RJ Lamont, Lonnie shows off on “Talk That Shit Pt. 3,” his latest video single. Rocking a hoodie atop several chains and a Charles Woodson Michigan jersey, Lonnie Bands is in prime stunting mode in the video, strutting around an abandoned warehouse, dancing with wads of cash. Premiered by FakeShoreDrive, “Talk That Shit Pt. 3” is the title track from BandGang Lonnie Bands’ new mixtape Talk That Shit 2 , released in August. Produced entirely by RJ Lamont, one of the most in-demand producers from Detroit who has produced for Gucci Mane, Rick Ross, and others, and featuring appearances from Philthy Rich, Sada Baby, ShredGang Mone, and others, Talk That Shit 2 is a succinct collection of hypnotic bangers and addictive riders’ anthems, carried by Lonnie’s malleable and addictive flows.
One-sixth of Detroit rap collective BandGang, Lonnie Bands is making waves in the industry with his mesmerizing flow, a distinct rise and fall cadence Lonnie has been perfecting since he was a young boy. The 22-year-old broke out in 2016 with his viral hit “Whatever I Say,” the highlight from his mixtape Talk That Shit. Gaining millions of streams on SoundCloud and YouTube, the song quickly became one of the biggest rap hits in the Midwest for 2016. Named by Complex as one of the “10 Emerging Acts From 10 Cities You Should Know,” the prolific Lonnie practically lives in the studio. Since the release of his first big single, Lonnie already has three solo projects under his belt: Antisocial, Ghost of DeDe, and Cosigned by the Streets. He continues to crank out new music with Talk That Shit 2 and an upcoming group album from the full BandGang, due late in 2017.
