Lloyd Banks has made good on his promise that his fan-favorite Halloween Havoc series is returning.
Taking to Instagram this week, the former G-Unit rapper revealed that Halloween Havoc IV will be out on Tuesday (October 31).

“Ok it’s that time of the year again!!!! Halloween Havoc IV!!! On the way!!! [pumpkin emojis]” he wrote.
You can view the trailer below.
The first Halloween Havoc landed in 2008, with the follow-up mixtapes in the series arriving in 2015 and 2016 – and of course, fans were hyped when Banks announced its return earlier this month.
“Halloween havoc [Fire emojis] Can we get a cold corner for the winter too,” one person asked, while another added: “Every October it’s monster bars!”

And despite the amount of time that has passed, Lloyd Banks is still laying claim to being the best rapper alive.
Earlier this month, the Queens MC responded to a pair of tweets that referred to his brilliance in the past tense, saying that nothing has changed and that he is still on top of the game.

“There was a point in time that @Lloydbanks was the greatest rapper walking the earth,” a fan tweeted, to which the self-proclaimed PLK (Punchline King) wrote: “Appreciate that, who’s the greatest now?”
When the same person replied that Banks was “special” during G-Unit’s acclaimed mixtape run and that nobody was out-rapping him, the 41-year-old promptly countered with: “Ain’t nobody out rapping me now.”
The following day, after clapping back at a social media user who shut down the rap veteran’s bold claim, the New York rapper tweeted: “I just be having fun engaging with the ppl on MY twitter..and when I do..I’m in the rap blogs [laughing emoji] damn I hope y’all post my new sh!t that fast!!!! Halloween Havoc IV on the way!!”
Last month, 50 Cent took shots at Lloyd Banks, as well as Young Buck, during a tour stop of his Final Lap Tour. In a late-September video recap of his show in New Jersey, Fif could be heard dissing his former G-Unit soldiers with jabs at their careers.

“They think this is something? Wait ’til they see Lloyd Banks’ tour,” he joked while backstage at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel. He then targeted Buck by saying: “Wait ‘til they see Straight Outta Cashville,” referencing the Tennessee MC’s debut solo album.
50 has been vocal about his grievances with his former signees for years. In his 2020 book Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter, the mogul said he felt like he could have done a better job at teaching Banks and Yayo “how to evolve and change their habits,” claiming they had “unfulfilled potential.”

“While I was out hustling, Banks was more content staying on his porch and watching the world from there,” he wrote. “Banks wanted things to come to him, as opposed to going out and getting them for himself.
“That’s not me trying to assassinate his character — the guy has ‘Lazy Lloyd’ tattooed on his arm. He literally wears his laziness on his sleeve.”
