David Banner Artist Snapshot:

Levell Crump, aka David Banner (as inspired by the Incredible Hulk TV character), almost singlehandedly put Mississippi on the hip-hop map. After parting from original group Crooked Lettaz, Banner released four albums in five years, culminating with 2008's GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD. His greatest success came with 2005's CERTIFIED, which showcased his idiosyncratic take on the then-ubiquitous crunk style, including a sharp lyrical depth. Banner's social awareness has been demonstrated in testimony before Congress about hip-hop's controversial content, a notorious open letter to today's black leaders, and his vocal outrage at the Hurricane Katrina disaster. He has also appeared as an actor in films such as BLACK SNAKE MOAN.

Review

Uncut (p.105) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "It frequently makes for energised hip hop."
Vibe (p.230) - 3.5 discs out of 5 - "As a hip hop artist with rock and country leanings, David Banner is a one-man mash-up artist."

Title Note

Additional personnel: Dead Prez, Elephant Man, Jadakiss, Jazze Pha, Lil Jon, Talib Kweli, Carl Thomas.

Following up the one-two punch of MISSISSIPPI: THE ALBUM and MTA2, David Banner unleashes 2005's CERTIFIED, a solid record that continues the Dirty South rapper's winning streak. There are no throwaway intro/interlude numbers here, just grimy, unfiltered hip-hop tracks. The disc kicks off with the forceful "Lost Souls," which features Banner's gruff voice perfectly complemented by a distorted guitar riff and burbling beats. Despite the numerous guest shots (Lil Jon, Jadakiss, Talib Kweli, Dead Prez, and many more), some of CERTIFIED's best tracks showcase Banner alone, especially the pounding, X-rated single "Play" and the chiming California-rap tribute "Westside." Relentlessly fierce and unapologetically sleazy, Banner plays to his strengths on this album, and the result is Southern rap at its finest.
