Erica Banks

Erica Banks is an American rapper from DeSoto, Texas, part of the wave of Dallas-area artists who broke through via TikTok in the early 2020s. Born in 1998, she began releasing independent mixtapes before signing to 1501 Certified Entertainment, the Texas label also associated with Megan Thee Stallion.

Her breakout came with «Buss It» in 2021, a bouncy, ad-lib-heavy track built around a viral dance challenge that spread rapidly across social media and helped define a moment in TikTok rap culture. The song's success led to a remix featuring other artists and cemented her place among a new generation of Southern female rappers blending twerk-anthem energy with sharp, punchy flows.

Banks continued building on that momentum with tracks like «Toot That» and «Trip Out», staying close to the high-energy, hook-driven style that made her known, while collaborating with peers from the broader Texas and Southern hip-hop scene.
