Banks is just hella underrated rapper

I think these are all. I was initially referring to Don't Push Me (It's like Banks waited his whole life to spit that verse), Where I'm At and You Don't Know (about this one i'm not so sure). Now these two didn't come to mind when i said that, but i also think he got it over
