来自Mississippi的David Banner一向以他精良的制作而著称,他的第一张个人专辑Mississippi: The Album在评论界和商业上取得了双重的胜利,在圈内不错的口碑加上其制作人的身份,David Banner的每张专辑都会有着极其奢华的客座整容。
David Banner紧凑的鼓点配以凶狠的说唱,使其风格自成一派。听过他歌的人都会注意到,他制作的标志就是以一个难辨男女的声音喊出自己的名号“David Banner”,将吉他融入曲中也是他常用的一种手法。

One half of the rap duo Crooked Lettaz, David Banner helped put Mississippi on the map in 1999. In 2000, he released his first solo album in Them Firewater Boyz, Vol. 1. Originally on Penalty Records, he realized quickly that a New York-based record label just didnt know how to handle the south. With the help of his crew, he managed to sell over 10,000 copies of his first album in his hometown alone. He broke out nationally in 2003 with a pair of albums, Mississippi: The Album and MTA2: Baptized in Dirty Water. These releases spawned a varied clutch of hits — Like a Pimp, Cadillac on 22s and Crank It Up. Two years later, he released Certified.
