*N.B: Many of you have come here as a result of the MusicDish Network. To those of you who have — first, I say, HELLO — and second, note that I have made more photos than usual available for your perusal.*

Once again, I had the honor and the pleasure of photographing Lloyd Banks live. Once again, I am pleased to report that he is a perfect gentleman — a true G in the realest sense of the word — a monster performer — and a living treasure. (This is far from hyperbole — he’s quite a delight & a pleasure…and, dare I say, a King amongst mere mortal men…)

At this point, if you’re sleeping on Lloyd Banks, you don’t know hip-hop.

Anyway, I went with my new junior publicist Venecia Phillips to the Paradise Theater in Bronx, NY (the G-Unit Riderz were also supposed to come…unfortunately, NYC roads aren’t kind to tires…), to watch Lloyd Banks perform at The Bronx Knows Concert for HIV Awareness. We were pleased & delighted to get both press and backstage clearance, so shout-out to Hot 97, the NYC Department of Health, and of course Lloyd Banks for that.

I covered the event for PR Photos (click on the link to see some site exclusive photos), Splash News (click on the link to be directed to the industry site), and — for the first time — made it available to all of the Music Dish wires (which includes 70 links to blog communities, eGroups, PR aggregation sites, micro-blogging platforms & online forums, as well as 30 blogs & 30 additional links to “urban”-type blog communities & online forums…all told, the MusicDish wires will be making these available to a total of 150 GUARANTEED PLACEMENTS…so shout-out to Eric de Fontenay, the MusicDish editor-in-chief, for that hookup).

*IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN NON-WATERMARKED VERSIONS OF THE PHOTOS, PLEASE SEND ME AN E-MAIL — you can find my info on my CONTACT page. I am more than happy to accommodate you!*

Peep the photos after the jump…
