The Texas rapper switches up Crime Mob's "Stilettos (Pumps)" for her latest single.

Newcomer Erica Banks is channeling a classic for her latest single, "Designer." The Warner Records and 1501 Certified Entertainment rapper edged her way into the mainstream lane of the Rap game during the 2020 quarantine when her "Buss It" hit went viral. The track went crazy on TikTok and even had its own challenge, helping to solidify Banks as an artist on the rise who can captivate Rap fans.

On Friday (November 12), the Texas artist shared her new single "Designer" with an accompanying music video. The track samples Crime Mob's "Stilettos (Pumps)," and throughout the song, Banks highlights her favorite luxury brands. Meanwhile, next weekend is the American Music Awards where Banks has been nominated for Favorite Trending Song and Favorite Female Hip Hop Artist.

We'll have to wait and see if she takes home the gold, but until then, stream "Designer" and share your thoughts on Erica Banks's latest.

Quotable Lyrics

Long hair with a ponytail
Young n*gga call when I'm pulling up
Cause hе need that, he know me well
I lovе that Versace
Before I leave, he gon top me
Talk that sh*t cause I'm cocky
