Banks
linked up with 50 and Yayo rapping, fresh out of High
School in 1999 at the age of 17. This is when he was subjected
to, what he feels is the hatred in the rap game. Bank
feels most people don't like rappers because they get
the spotlight. In 2021 around the Sept 11 incident Banks
was shot twice. He feels this was due to all the hatred
in the game but it just made him bounce back harder. The
incident sticks in Banks mind as the point were he really,
really started taking rap serious. When he recovered from
the incident, he laid down his first rhyme in the studio,
which is a song on the G-Unit cd, (Song # 6) G-Unit soldiers.
Banks currently doesn’t listen to any other rappers
except his crew. He says " My ears are closed to
everybody, except 50, Yayo, and myself. He says "I'm
the hungry young nigga in the crew. So if anyone has something
to say about g-unit as a group or 50 cent as an artist,
he’s the one who will respond." He knows they
are hot right now and only want to get hotter.
