David Banner brought decades of industry knowledge to the All The Smoke studio, and what he shared will blow your mind.

From strip club anthems to Hollywood scripts, Banner breaks down how he's continually pushed boundaries in music, film, and culture. Plus: candid thoughts on Pimp C, Lil Wayne, T.I., and the current state of Southern rap. #AllTheSmokeProductions  #rap #AllTheSmoke #NBA #davidbanner
