Before “Buss It” took off and went platinum, she remembers what life was like starting in the industry five years ago. Like many past hip-hop artists who have paved the way, Banks took a DIY approach. “As a kid, it looks like a one-and-a-million chance kind of thing,” she says. “I knew , but growing up I was like, ‘That’s probably not going to happen. I’m just gonna go be a nurse.’”, Missy Elliott and Eve, Banks admired how outspoken these rappers were while making “amazing music.” “Just looking at them as a 10-year-old girl like, ‘My God, they're so cool. I want to be like them,'" she says.
Banks became TikTok-famous as people recognized her as the “Buss It” girl. It was a stark contrast to her first show in southern Dallas in August 2019, performing in front of a small crowd that included her mom and her photographer at the time. "He was saying, 'Hey, E. I need a girl for my song on my album. I need a feel for the girls,'" Banks says."I was like, 'OK, cool.' I pulled up to the studio. He played me the record. I liked it, got on it and then he later added Tay Money, which was super fire. So it was a win-win situation.”
