H.F.M. 2 (The Hunger for More 2) is the third studio album by American hip hop recording artist Lloyd Banks, released on November 22, 2010 through G-Unit Records and EMI.
Using Twitter, Lloyd Banks originally stated that the album was called The Hunger for More 2. It was unknown whether the album name was official or not. The title of the album was later confirmed by 50 Cent in an interview with MTV News. The album was thought to be possibly released under Interscope, by a new contract of the label and the rapper; also the Interscope chairman Jimmy Iovine revealed that he wants to sign the rapper to Interscope again, and he asked label mate 50 Cent "what can I do to sign Lloyd Banks again?". Banks has said that he is willing to re-sign, but only if Interscope is willing to issue an apology for "doubting him."
On August 13, 2010, Banks said this about his upcoming album, "When I wrote [The Hunger for More], I took my whole life and tried to squeeze all those experiences into one album. You’ve got your whole life to make your first album and you can’t get it all out in 14 songs. There are a lot of similarities between The Hunger for More and The Hunger for More 2. One, the fact that I made both of these albums without any distractions or input from the label, or anyone else for that matter. Two, the energy feels the same."
Banks announced that his album would be released under G-Unit Records and EMI. After the album was released, Lloyd Banks stated that he completed the one-album deal with EMI and he was a free agent again. In an interview on Global Grind live, he stated that he had worked with J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League on the project. In relation to this statement, a song leaked entitled "Don't Deserve You" which was produced by J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League.
The album is named after Lloyd Banks' first album The Hunger for More, he said he wants to regain the success that he had with his first album. The album cover was released by Lloyd Banks' official website and Twitter page on October 5, 2010. The album cover is similar to his first but show changes in wealth and surrounding.
