September 18, 2019
You’re already free. Now, act like it!
– Killer Mike
Okay, ComplexCon got something here. I mean, that Revolt TV panel event (here) was pretty dope… but this panel event is FIRE!
Killer Mike joins friends Clifford “T.I.†Harris and David Banner for an honest conversation on the economic issues facing neighborhoods of color. The rappers-turned-businessmen share their personal perspective on the importance of buying back, rebuilding, and transforming those communities for the better. In the spirit of giving back, they also discuss the value in teaching kids how to better themselves, and the benefits of working a legitimate job instead of hustling.

India Arie – “Steady Love” (Video)
May 27, 2019
The number of people who would argue with me when I declared India Irie and David Banner the ‘Most Adorable Keep-It-Real & GOALS Couple EVER’… absolutely ZERO! I am not going to even do one search to see if they are actually ‘shipped’ in real life. Nope.
I am just going to live in the beautiful moments this video creates. And what a wonderful song. And that warrior-in-the-streets x king-in-the-sheets yearning… AND all that body (ma THICK y’all, woowee!) and bright smiling that India is hitting us with… Maaaan, we gone ALL get pregnant!
Check out “Steady Love” off India’s LP “Worthy” (out now).

David Banner Speaks On His New Album, How Trump’s Election Was A Good Thing, And Black People Needing To Be More Racist (Video)
September 18, 2017
Preach, David Banner, PREACH!
About all that in the headline, and then some! Not only will he speak about his activism… and struggles with alcohol, depression, etc. But Banner gets things started with the WAY to deliver an activist’s message in music. First Commandment of an Entertainer, esp. in Hip-Hop music: THOU SHALL NOT BE WACK!!!! Spiritual/Positive/Conscious music artists cannot lean on the message and just put out wack music. And looking at you, too, rapping-azz-rappers: Stop sacrificing lyricism for beats, or vice versa… No wack music!!

David Banner – “Magnolia†feat. Cee-Lo x Raheem DeVaughn
May 18, 2017
David Banner be banging! This release, “Magnolia,†off the forthcoming project “The God Box” (pre-order link below) is painfully deep with a story over a dope beat.
The song represents the relationship of trees in Mississippi and Africans throughout history. The taller the tree, the broader the story, the shorter the tree, the more personal the perspective is. My verse is about the relationship between the magnolia tree and Africans during slavery.
– David Banner
“The God Box” has vocal performance features from Cee-Lo and Raheem (obviously) and Big K.R.I.T from the Magnolia State; plus Black Thought (of The Roots), Trinidad James, WatchtheDuck and Big Rube. Production assists come from DJ Khalil, DJ Swiff, and more.

April 26, 2017
Mr. Mississippi is baaaaack. And Black Thought’s got his baaaack. Bad news for the wack. But oh so dope news for any heads out there. Because lyrics like this fam…
I got the wordplay of Wallace, the work ethic of Shakur
I was sent into to the future with a message from the Moors
I went to war, my weapon just a blessing from the Lord
Rest assured that my pen is more mighty than the sword
– Black Thought, “Who Want It”
Oooh-hooo-hooooohhh my DAMN! David Banner does it again. Listen to him, WatchtheDuck, and Tariq run this THX track.

No need to wait until February (yep, the release is set) to get the straight dope from the Mississippi straight-shooter. “The God Box” is on the way. For now, David Banner is hitting us over the head and taking us somewhere deep with “The Cross” (video embedded above). Check it out!
Spiritual warfare. It’s already on. Banner is just trying to show you.
David Banner Talks About Taking Hip-Hop To The Next Level, Making “My Uzi” And More (Video)
September 26, 2015
If we don’t do something… Hip-Hop is not gonna be ours anymore… It is up to us… We gotta push Hip-Hop to another level… The White boys are getting more and more lyrical, and we’re basically mumbling.
– David Banner
Man that Banner: Always an interesting interview. He talks about Hip-Hop, its slipping from the grasp of Black people as originators (as did Rock and as R&B is about to), about “My Uzi” (featuring Big K.R.I.T.), about the almost-done album “The God Box,” and more.
POWERFUL interview. Please watch attentively. Share enthusiastically. Enjoy and be enriched!

David Banner – “My Uzi†feat. Big K.R.I.T. (Video)
August 10, 2015
Lyric video for that “My Uzi” (featuring Big K.R.I.T.) dopeness shared with you the other day. Banner is promising that “The God Box” is coming soon; so it looks like this single is now spoken for (no longer a loosey). Folks have been telling me they like how the beat switches and goes ‘theatrical’ near the end. I just like how it comes in hard-driving with no let up…feels like the revolution ’bout to jump off or something!

Kap G – “La Policia” feat. T.I. x David Banner (Remix)
April 15, 2015
Uh oh. If you know some cops, you need to ask them to leave you alone while you play this one. Nothing untrue. But truth hurts. Communicated via vessel like this… carries some extra sting! Can you imagine singing F#ck “La Policia” aloud? Don’t worry, Kap G, T.I. and David Banner will do it for you.
Sa-Roc – “The Who?†featuring David Banner (Prod. Sol Messiah) [Video]
June 9, 2014
A dope joint should have a dope video. It’s only right. Thus, the degree of dopeness for “The Who?” (produced by Sol Messiah). Sa-Roc and David Banner star. Respect to Bad Magics for hipping me to this.

Sa-Roc – “The Who?” featuring David Banner (Prod. Sol Messiah)
April 22, 2014
“The Who?” takes a realer-than-real look at Black history, with David Banner dropping a 16 as Patrice Lumumba, the Congolese freedom fighter who helped his country win independence from Belgium in 1960 and became the first democratically-elected Prime Minister, before being executed by Belgian-backed secessionists in 1961. Sa-Roc seals the deal over the Sol Messiah track to whet appetites for Sa-Roc forthcoming “Nebuchadnezzar” LP.

Action Fantasy: David Banner’s Web Drama “Walking With Gods” Premieres (Video)
September 3, 2013
Just finished watching this. WOW!! Speechless. Truth is… I did not even know what to call this genre David Banner is delving into on YouTube, but thankfully my brother did (shout out to @BoneBreakerMC – love you bruh)… Action Fantasy! Yeah. This “Walking With Gods” is DOPENESSS (with an extra ‘s’)!
‘Walking With Gods is a live-action, superhero series. It is about a man whose godly powers are realized only when his inner being is balanced and he truly believes in the power within.’
I hope this effort spurs continued growth in this sector of the arts. New content… we don’t have to wait on the next X-Men or Transformers at the box office when folks like Mr. Mississippi are putting out ORIGINAL work we can be proud of and support right now! Positive images of people of color with great story lines and musical scores to boot. Banner’s effort to ‘Control Our Images’ on screen needs our support.
‘If you want to see more, you can donate at www.davidbanner.com. Thank you ALL. Controlling Our Images.’
Parts 1 and 2 combined are embedded above. Check out Parts 3 and 4 after the jump.

David Banner – “Californication” feat. Snoop Dogg, Nipsey Hussle, The Game, & Ras Kass (Video)
April 19, 2012
I thought this new David Banner joint called “Californication” was a definite banger when it leaked on the web a few weeks ago. The song is straight heat but I didn’t expect a video to drop for this at all. I’m not mad that the Mississippi native decide to put some “allstar visuals” to this joint featuring Snoop Dogg, Game, Nipsey Hussle, & Ras Kass. It’s even more interesting to see David Banner, who reps the south so heavy, do a song for all my Cali people. I wonder if David Banner will do a song for the “East Coast brothas”……probably not. That says alot without saying anything at all. It is what it is. Hahaaa!
