After going completely viral for her “Buss It” hit record, Erica Banks pulled up on the L.A. Leakers Justin Credible and DJ Sourmilk to let the city get to know more about her and her come up.
Repping Dalls, the Houston native gave major props to Nicki Minaj and cites her as a main inspiration for her as a rapper. As she tells the Leakers that she started taking her rap career serious only four years ago in 2017, Erica not only praises Minaj, but she also shines the attention to her parents who gave her permission to leave school to follow her dreams, although made sure to let her know that if it didn’t work out she would have to think twice about the industry.
As the BussItChallenge catapulted the budding artist into fame, Banks speaks on upcoming plans for new music after the song, and details how Travis Scott came to be on the infectious remix. Although the two have yet to meet in person, Erica says that she was surprised when she found out Scott would make an appearance on the track, after finding out the news via a phone call.
