David Banner was born in Jackson, MISSISSIPPI, rapper, actor, music producer, record label exec and philanthropist releases his most personal album. Emerging from more than a year of in-depth humanitarian and philanthropic efforts to aid victims of Hurricane Katrina, the Mississippi native was eager to get back into the studio and practice his craft. “Everybody wants to hear the hits and I got’em,” says Banner. “But I wouldn’t be calling it ‘The Greatest Story’ if it wasn’t truthful. My Fans know I’m going to be telling it straight-up however I’m coming.”

It was Banner’s 2005 release Certified that set a new standard for hip-hop scorchers, with his smash single “Play” garnered more then 50 milion in radio audience and climbed into the Top 5 on Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Chart, causing more than one esteemed urban publication to peg the star as hip-hop’s thinking man.’ The outspoken Banner has been perfecting his signature brand of rap rock and street tinged anthems ever since his stunning 2003 gold-plus debut, Mississippi – The Album. The album’s genre-altering single “Like A Pimp,” featuring Lil’Flip, was hailed as Banner’s breakthrough song.

His latest project, “The Greatest Story Ever Told” – drops July 15th and features some of the hottest rappers in the game such as: T.I. Snoop Dogg, Lil Wayne, Akon, Chris Brown & Jim Jones!
