Battling Adversities of Life with Enriching Hip Hop and Electronic Music- Primo Banks Inspires with Original Record

Straddling several dynamic genres, the multi-genre singer-songwriter is successfully capturing the airwaves with independently recorded, original music

Houston, Texas — September 4th, 2023 – In a world where music serves as a vessel for personal expression and liberation, Primo Banks emerges as a remarkable artist whose journey is deeply intertwined with his passion for sound.

The eclectic artist has embarked on a transformative musical odyssey that speaks of resilience, determination, and an unshakable belief in the power of artistic creation. Primo Banks’ musical venture has been marked by an unyielding drive for financial independence, crafted on the foundations of music recorded within the confines of his closet.

His exciting, groundbreaking album, “Smooth Criminal,” released on October 31, 2020, is not just a collection of songs but a testament to his triumph over challenges that echo the struggles faced by many.

Engineered and mixed by the esteemed platinum producer known by the stage name Bigg Cuz Beats, who has worked alongside renowned acts like Mo3 and Kentheman, “Smooth Criminal” is a musical journey that resonates with listeners on a profound level.

The electric album’s tracks emanate a sense of motivation drawn from the adversities Primo Banks has conquered – the same adversities that touch each of us in our day-to-day lives. What sets Primo Banks apart is his unique sound, a fusion that springs from his soul, music that’s never scripted on paper.

A talented artist- Primo Bank’s artistic journey is a testimony to the sacrifices he made to reach his sixth recorded studio album, a remarkable feat achieved through unwavering dedication and boundless passion.

The seasoned artist stands as a staunch believer in the power of manifestation and the law of attraction. His music reverberates with the message that whatever one seeks, it ultimately finds them.

Primo Bank’s inspiration for his artistic journey ignited early in his career, ignited by his close and well-known peer, James Johnson, whose stage name is Swagg Huncho. Johnson is a pivotal member of the rising trio musical group known as 3problems.

The artist’s ambitions transcend the boundaries of the music industry. With his indomitable spirit, he envisions shaking the foundations of the music world while simultaneously making strides in the fashion world with his independently-owned brand HRE!

ABOUT

Primo Banks, whose birth name is Darryl Braceful, stands as an accomplished entrepreneur and talented songwriter. The artist’s birthplace is San Antonio, Texas, with his birthdate being November 29th, 1994, although he was raised in St. Louis. Both of his parents were entrepreneurs as well, overseeing a restaurant that they named after their son, Darryl. However, Darryl’s ambitions veered away from running the restaurant, as his true aspiration lay in becoming a songwriter and rapper.

Determined to flourish as a vocalist, Darryl commenced his singing practice at the tender age of 9. During his time at MCcluer South Berkeley High School, he formed a rap ensemble called ‘Trail Team’ alongside his friends, and the group garnered considerable attention. Regrettably, upon graduation, the group members dispersed, each venturing onto distinct paths. This juncture brought about a series of challenges for Darryl, including the tragic loss of his close friend Swagg Huncho from the well-known rap group “3 Problems” due to gun violence. Simultaneously, he faced the loss of his job and car, all within the same timeframe. In response to these trials, Primo Banks took the initiative to establish his own music label known as Hell Raiser Entertainment, beginning a fascinating journey!
