Benny Banks reflects on his life in “Still Trying” [Video]
“The older I get, the lesser my friends/ Sometimes I had to do it twice to learn the lesson again” quips Benny Banks in his new single “Still Trying.” The bouncy and moody track is produced by Sixfoor & Young Nato and sees Benny in full introspective mode. He muses over his past, self-growth, and the dynamics of being a father in this crazy world.
The visuals are directed by Zach Grav and Grav Bro’s who employ a smooth mix of performance shots, cut scenes, and mellow reflective aesthetics that meshes perfectly with the mood of this song.
“Still Trying” comes at the end of what’s been a fruitful year for Benny Banks who’s dropped a string of drops across the months; including his Daily Duppy and The Generals Corner freestyles which have amassed over 4 million views/streams collectively.
Over his career, his unique talent has earned his music videos over 60 million YouTube views, thousands of downloads of his Mixtape ‘Patiently Waiting Volume 1, a top 20 single, a tour and collaboration with Mac Miller (RIP) and the same with Dappy. Benny has released music with Maverick Sabre, Chip, Krept and Konan, Mostack, Black the Ripper (RIP) all before the days of streaming platforms dominating the music industry. Benny took a hiatus from music in 2013 and says himself it isn’t until now that he’s really felt himself. Returning now with his new track ‘Eye for an Eye’; Benny’s lyrical ability is clearly just as slick as ever, more mature and wiser than ever, Benny is back doing what he was destined to do.
