• Featuring the hit single “Like a Pimp,” Banner’s 2003 LP Mississippi: The Album hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.
• In 2006, the National Black Caucus of the State Legislature presented Banner with a Visionary Award for his work after Hurricane Katrina.
• Banner’s 2008 album Greatest Story Ever Told peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard 200, and its explosive lead single, “Get Like Me,” featuring Chris Brown and Young Joc, went gold.
• After a lengthy hiatus from music, Banner returned in 2017 with a sage-like persona highlighted by his culturally relevant #TheGodBox, which hit No. 5 on Billboard’s Independent Albums chart.
