It’s been a couple of years since Erica Banks released her last project, a self-titled body of work that saw assists from BeatKing and Lil Migo and boasted her breakthrough single “Buss It.” Since then, the Texas star has continued to increase her exposure with a slew of remixes, freestyles, and collaborations with the likes of Yella Beezy and Jacquees — see even released a four-track holiday EP titled Banks B4 Christmas.
Today (April 22), Banks makes her official return with the new single “Pop Out,” a Sgt. J-produced offering that sees her delivering her hardest bars to date. The track also sees a matching visual that comes courtesy of B.Rxb, and is filled with shots of Banks and her bevy of baddies rocking pink outfits and catching vibes to the music in different locations.
Recently, Erica Banks appeared on a recent episode of REVOLT’s “Big Facts,” where she spoke on Nicki Minaj and her choice-making when it comes to creating music with new artists:
“I love Nicki, but I just felt like I been trying to reach out to her for a long time, but I felt like she kinda ignores me and she entertains girls who really can’t rap.”
Coi Leray (who recently connected with Minaj on the Trendsetter standout “Blick Blick“) responded to a shared clip of said comments with laughing emojis. She also essentially dismissed the controversy during a run-in with TMZ:
“You gotta let bitches play the back, you know what I’m saying? Sometimes, you can’t even feed into negative energy. Like, at the end of the day … what you put on this earth is always going to come back to you.”
