utta Sight Outta Mind is
the latest mixtape offering from Washington,
DC rapper B-Jay Banks. The
mixtape displays all facets of
the talented Mr. Banks, from
his undeniable flow to his calculated production. The mixtape is masterfully arranged.
Built of thirteen solid tracks
the mixtape from start to finish takes the listener on a ride
not soon to be forgotten.
The mixtape paints the picture of a young man forced to
grow up fast and become the
man of the house. It tells of
the young man acquiring his
first gun, becoming a stick up
boy then graduating to whipping up packages in the kitchen. “Outta Sight Outta Mind”
also warns of supporting and
believing fake rappers who
rap about life on the block,
yet have never stepped foot on
the block. It also tells of the
young man finding true love.

age in the trap.

to make it. The tracks lyrics
“It’s crazy what a young nigga
will do for survival.” and “We
just trying to survive” speak to
anyone out here just trying to
reach a goal while overcoming countless obstacles.
Cloaked in a metaphor of
whipping up a batch of crack
‘Let Me Whip,’ produced By
Rel Live Beatz, speaks to
rappers daily struggle to avoid
the trap and stay true to the
rap game.
The worst thing one can be

the women that these fools
worship on their albums ain’t
