The certified hip hop mogul named David Banner, from the state of the crooked letters, is a man with an imagination that is as vast as the Cumberland Mountains. Banner is one southern rap pioneer who is not shy when it comes to dropping jewels on the younger hip hop generation and he doesn’t believe the hype of the music industry. His catalog includes four successful rap albums and a fifth one one the way, a producer who will make a beat right in front of you to make sure it’s yours and now he’s branched off into acting and his very own cartoon show.

This is one man who you wouldn’t want to make angry, you won’t like him when he’s angry. Everything that he has been through in the past few years has caused him to hulk out into the beast that he is today from sour rappers to the death of his father, Mr. Zeno Crump Jr. to the piracy craze. HipHopClub sits with David Banner for some serious dialog in one of the most in-depth interviews that can be dug into.

You’ve heard their hot new single “Tat-Tat-Tatted Up” featuring D4L’s Fabo scorching the radio airwaves for months now and we’re sure that a lot of people were not able to put the song with the faces of The Alliance. Remember the old skool days of hip hop when you would hear a new Big Daddy Kane joint or hear Kool Moe Dee and wonder for months how they looked? Then, when you finally see them on their record or cassette tape cover it all comes together. This seems to be the similar approach that Blackout, Skinny, female rapper Bliss and producer Ty-Cutta have taken and they have the radio and ringtone world on lock.
