LonleyBandz has dropped the cutting-edge hit, “Cartel Run It Up”.
Oklahoma-rap artist LonleyBandz has just released his fresh single, “Cartel Run It Up”.
The artist had a difficult start in life and had to overcome a lot of personal challenges. Born James “Lonleybandz” Hall, he was brought up by his grandmother, while his mother struggled with alcoholism. Even though this was a tough start, he found a cathartic outlet in creating original music and he’s never looked back since.
LonleyBandz got his start singing in church and cut his teeth performing live in the local area. Following getting kicked out of home from his grandmother, the artist started recording his distinctive rap flows and original tracks and covers. He’s already amassed thousands on views on YouTube and received critical acclaim for his direct and deep lyrics.
In his new release, the artist drew inspiration from the likes of Chris Brown, Justin Bieber, and Charlie Wilson, to mention but a few acts. “Cartel Run It Up” has a memorable hook, expressive vocal performance, and thought-provoking lyrics. On top of this, it’s an all-round great sounding track with a stellar production aesthetic.

Information about yourself or youAs the saying goes, pressure makes diamonds, and at just 21 years old, this young artist has already overcome quite a bit of adversity. James “Lonleybandz” Hall was born December 10, 1998 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The youngest of -five and the only boy, Bandz was primarily raised by his maternal grandmother while his mother struggled with sobriety on the impoverished north side of Tulsa.
Drawing early inspiration from the likes of Chris Brown, Justin Bieber, and fellow Oklahoman Charlie Wilson, Lonleybandz discovered his passion for music while singing in the church he attended with his grandmother. At age 12, he participated in his first live performance, singing Miley Cyrus’ “The Climb” along with his siblings at a graduation ceremony to celebrate his mother’s completion of an Alcoholics Anonymous program. When his mother relapsed just two years later following the death of her brother, and she left home, Bandz dropped out of high school without completing the ninth grade and turned to the streets. His grandmother soon kicked him out of the house, leading Bandz to live out of hotels where he could, and fend for himself. This fueled his desire to turn his passion and talent into a profitable career. Finding ways to hustle and get money without the support of his family, inspired the name Lonleybandz.
Showcasing his dynamic flow as an equally talented vocalist and rapper, he began to record original music and post covers of popular songs on Youtube, quickly gaining traction online. His cover of SZA’s “The Weekend” amassed over 74K views, while the music video for his “Lonely Thoughts” garnered over 145K! Bandz’s ability to seamlessly blend raw lyrics and deep emotion with a melodic delivery is evident in tracks like “We Lit,” “Smoke,” “Beast Mode,” “Frozen,” and his latest, “Cartel Run It Up”
