Save for a DJ Shadow guest spot, a dope-yet-slept-on mixtape and a..."collaboration" with Justin Timberlake and Cristina Ricci in Black Snake Moan, David Banner has kept fairly quiet after the release of his last LP, Certified. Sure, he gave away beats to everyone from BG to Jibbs, but where were the solo Banner bangers we've come to know and love? The headbuss anthems? THE DAVID BANNER "YEH!"S?!?!?!? Fortunately, the last month or so has seen an explosion of music from our man in Missisippi. "9MM," with Akon, Wayne and Snoop, is the clear comeback single, filled with crazy synth work (and Weezy comparing himself to Leanne Rimes). But when you add in the UGK collab "Suicide Doors" and the vintage fight music of "K.O."? That sounds to us like an album's on the way...
"9MM"
"Suicide Doors"
"K.O."
