  • Don't sleep on Robb Banks. To those in the know, Banks has buzzing for years, but many are still just catching up. Back in 2012, long before South Florida was the most happening region for rap's new SoundCloud wave, he was getting reblogs of tracks he posted on his Tumblr.
    "I really care about the Florida rap scene," he says. "I was born up here [in New York] and I moved down to Florida when I was like, six. ... Broward was just a lot of crime," he recalls. "When I first came, I'm seeing prostitutes. I was a little kid riding around on my bike thinking shit's sweet and niggas gettin' arrested. One of my friends in 10th grade got arrested... Florida make you grow up fast."
    In the latest episode of Open Space, Banks talks about being an elder statesman of South Florida rap at age 24, his memories of fellow Broward rappers XXXtentacion and Ski Mask, and the whole Raider Klan, and how he's only now planning his first true album, 'Falconia.' "Anytime I record, I record for 'Falconia' he says. Though he's several projects into his solo career, he is holding tightly to his proper debut. "I feel like Falconia is going to be like, my big album," he says. "The 'Billboard' muh'fucka, you know what I'm saying." In the meantime, he's blessings his fans with EPs and loosies as they happen. "If a track doesn't make it, I'll put it out as a project. I'm not storing my music no more, I'm just… Off with it."
    His rap dreams nearly eluded him because of street quagmires in his youth, but Broward never raised a coward-and Banks isn't done getting or putting on. Patience is a virtue. Specifically, in Banks's case, it could be what puts him over the top.
    Falconia on the way. Watch Open Space above.

      I don't see why he's slept on. Hell he sounds like everything else. So why is he considered slept on. His beats are trapped out & he's rapping like the usual suspects. I don't get it.

    Robb Bank$ is a very creative rapper, this is shown in his rap flows, lyrics referencing anime, and ear for beats and interesting samples, don't sleep on this dude, personally for me he is my top 5 underground rappers, along with another Florida legend, SPACEGHOSTPURRP, I wish those two can work together again

      @7teenHM 6 років тому +1

      naaa your getting it twisted, obviously SG too with that whole asap mob link up, but robb and him rolled with either and they made hella songs together, plus i see sgp more as a producer then anything, robb had and still has bars, and still has one of the strongest underground project runs back to back ive heard, dude lowkey is the father of all these kids, u look at any of there interviews they always saying robb denzel and sgp, but back then the most popular out of them 3 was definitely robb, if you know about tumblr days and when calender's first drops and the hype that was around Tha City and how peeps was litrally craving to hear YOT$ for yearrss then you know what i mean.
