David Banner

Hailing from Jackson, Mississippi, David Banner made his break as a rapper as part of duo, Crooked Lettaz, before his solo career took off in the early 2000s. As a hip hop artist and rapper in the US, the competition and calibre of musicians is incredibly high, and for Banner to make his break from the humble beginnings of his Mississippi childhood really demonstrates his raw talent.
Seeing him perform live was not something I had necessarily set out to do. Whilst I enjoy his music, notably tracks off Death of a Pop Star, I hadn’t anticipated the way in which Banner would bring down a house in a live performance. The lighting hyped up the audience perfectly, slowly brightening, increasing, and beginning to flash. As he ran on stage, the crowd went crazy, and the dancing lights slightly concealed the talent for a moment, before he picked up his microphone and began jamming.
The audience went wild as he played new and old tunes, and when he started rapping out the 2014 album Ride Along, everyone was joining in and dancing like crazy.
The environment was exhilarating, and the music was simply incredible live. I was expecting a lot of pushing and shoving, but the audience were really respectful and just genuine Banner fans. I’d definitely get tickets to see him again – a really great gig that surprised and impressed me.

The lecture featuring David Banner was beyond amazing! I really enjoyed the overall experience, and would highly recommend it to friends & family. I also love the location with its chill atmosphere and grown and sexy vibe. I look forward to more events
