Whatever you do, just make sure you remember the name Banna because the tides are about to change in his favor. This up-and-coming independent hip hop/rap artist, songwriter, and performer has got the keys to rap music gratification and is serious about turning heads with his unmatched style and flow that reflect an era most of us are well aware of: the golden age of rap music. We are talking the 90s and early 2000s, but now delivered with a more modern twist…call that heavenly!
An artist who is at the pinnacle of his creative expression, his 2022 certified jams “Nothing 2 Lose” and “Lost in You” were deservedly acclaimed and received favorable reviews from the music press.
Riding on the wave of momentum that these bangers created for him, Banna has been straight down to work, spending most of his time in the studio cooking some delicacies, and to start us off the festivities is that mind-blowing performance in “LOCKED IN Freestyle”
And make no mistake, this is no ordinary freestyle; Banna reaches an unrivaled high with his erudite flows, analytical bars, and hard-hitting rhymes as he illustrates why he is in a league of his own.
This piece has a hypnotic Cali vibe that is irresistible and really hits the listener right in the feels. This is the kind of beat that takes you way back to the good old days when the music was great, like in this performance.
Wearing his heart on his sleeve, Banna delivers something that will still invoke emotions even a decade from now. This is the crown-jewel of freestyles…. Banna has just set the standard for freestyle songs. This is the freestyle to beat!
That smooth deliverability over the laid-back melodies is enough to give you an eargasmic as you play the track on loop all day long.
I can’t lie, I really did dig this performance in its entirety and have been recommending this masterpiece to my friends, who had nothing but positive words to say about it.
