Four years ago today, the world lost one of hip hop’s most promising rappers. Bankroll Fresh, whose real name was Trentavious Zamon White Sr., was tragically gunned down in front of the Street Execs recording studio in Atlanta following an altercation with rapper No Plug. Prior to his passing, he’d delivered classic mixtapes like Made It Through The Struggle and Life of a Hotboy, having also created dope hits alongside the likes of T.I., Jeezy, 2 Chainz and Zaytoven. Now, his Street Money Worldwide camp releases the posthumous album In Bank We Trust, which sees 12 tracks and appearances from Boosie Badazz, Countup JT, Ques, Street Money Boochie, and more.
Via Instagram, his mother, Terisa Price, spoke on what this release means to her:
“He talks to me through his music… This is due in large part to you, his supporters…These positive expressions of love mean so much to me. They keep me going and I truly appreciate it. My intention in releasing this album, In Bankroll We Trust, four years after my son’s death is to set the tone for his ongoing legacy. As long as his spiritual body operates in harmony, he is still alive, still making his mark on the world, and still carving out a legacy that makes me proud to call him my son.”
The album’s opener “Mind, Body, & Soul” is a perfect example of the talent that would have had so much more of a positive impact on the culture if Bankroll was still here:
“I want the fortune, motherf*** the fame/
I want the Bentley, motherf*** the Range/
God, please forgive me, this s***, I’ma kill it/
This s*** from my soul, this s*** from my spirit/
Can’t go nowhere if you ain’t got no vision/
Can’t go nowhere if you don’t know the distance/
Fresh hell, Sunday school class, Christian, fresh hell, Sunday school fire with me…/”
