"With that being said..I think it’s time to lay it down."

Banks leaves the game having released three critically acclaimed solo albums and sixteen solo mixtapes. He is an original member of G-Unit, along with 50 Cent and Tony Yayo. The lyrical ability he displayed on their two studio albums, two EP's and countless mixtapes earned him the nickname, The Punchline King.
He'll be remembered as one of the best emcees to ever pick up a mic. We wish Banks the best as he begins a new phase of his life.
