I remember first hearing Banks on Don’t Push Me, I was a sophomore in HS, and I thought he was so dope. I’ve been listening to Banks and keeping up with everything he’s dropped since 2003 now, almost 20 years, and he’s honestly one of my favorite rappers ever. I’ve been given him his flowers, I’m happy so many other people are too now finally.
