David Banner Plots Three New Albums

With the release of his fifth studio album, "The Greatest Story Ever Told," on the horizon, Southern rapper David Banner tells Billboard.com he has two more releases ready to go as well as some fresh film roles and a weight-loss DVD on the runway.

"Most rappers in this day and time don't get to make it to their fourth or fifth album, so I feel very blessed," says the Mississippi-born Banner (real name: Levell Crump), who plans to have "The Greatest Story..." out on June 3 via Universal. The set was originally expected last fall...

Banner says he actually abandoned "The Greatest Story..." at one point during the recording, instead working on another album called "13" that will be its follow-up. "It's different than anything anybody's ever heard," Banner explains. "It's acid blues hip-hop. Everybody that's heard it don't know what to call it."

Banner has also recorded a companion album for his Adult Swim cartoon show, "That Crook'd 'Sipp" which will come out later this year. And with credits already in "Black Snake Moan" and "This Christmas," he's filmed a role in "Days of Wrath," which also features Laurence Fishburne, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Ana Claudia Talancon and Wilmer Valderrama. "It's gonna be our generation's 'Scarface,'" Banner enthuses.

After losing 54 pounds through a diet and exercise regimen, Banner is making a DVD to encourage others to do the same. "Young black and Latinos now are dying from heart attacks at 28 and 30 years old," Banner notes. "Hopefully through my transformation I can get to people in the hood and encourage them. I honestly think I put 20 years on my life -- I really do. I want more people to be able to do that."

David Banner's "Greatest Story" Remains Untold, Album Pushed Back


David Banner's long delayed album, The Greatest Story Ever Told, which was scheduled to drop today, has again been pushed back to a later date next month.


This is not the first time that Banner has had his release date moved. As previously reported, the rapper's fourth solo album was originally scheduled for release last September...




The Greatest Story Ever Told boasts guest spots from Lil' Wayne, Snoop Dogg, Chris Brown, Jim Jones, UGK and Yung Joc, among others. Banner's lead single, "Speaker" featuring Weezy and Snoop was released last year. The Mississippi-based rapper just released a video for his latest single, "Get Like Me" with Brown and Joc.


SOHH recently chopped it up with Banner to talk about his album title.


"I think it's The Greatest Story Ever Told 'cause it's just my life," he explained. "Coming from Mississippi not having major backing, not having no dope money connected to my project. It was just a dude standing out on the corner selling his CDs. Me moving to New York homeless, I stayed in the garment district. Being in Atlanta sleeping on the floor with dogs and just pumping my stuff out of the trunks. Doing whatever it took that didn't compromise my manhood or my spirituality; I did it in order to make it." "It just got to the point that when I look back on my life and dude told me 'you should write a book,'" he continued. "And all those trials and tribulations from my father dying, to Hurricane Katrina, all of that made The Greatest Story Ever Told."


David Banner's new disc hits stores on July 15th via SRC/Universal Motown.

Nette Kombo, muss ich sagen. Vielleicht kommt sogar ein Album. Es wird jedenfalls von einem gemeinsamen Projekt gesprochen.

Wann kriegt David Banner endlich die Beats die er verdient? Das kann ja wohl nicht alles sein...

Hater...

Nein, das Lied ist nicht das tollste. Aber die Kombo ist sehr spannend, ich denke da geht wirklich noch mehr. Besonders bei 9th Wonder. Über ein Projekt würde ich mich sehr freuen, da David Banner auch mal Abwechslung braucht und vielleicht geht da nochmal was, weil mit klassischen Dirty South Shit kommt er in seinem Leben wohl nicht mehr weiter.

Track gefällt mir auch nicht^^. Bester Banner Track imo ist "Seein Thangs" vom letzten DJ Shadow Album.


Absolut göttliche Collabo

Da harmoniert der Beat perfekt mit seiner Stimme
