But now with major cosigns by Kanye West and luxury fashion’s elite, Banks is on the way to establishing herself as a star on both the hometown and international fronts.

The “212” rapper admitted in a recent interview with Vibe magazine that she was hype to freestyle some bars for the industry giant when she ran into him at Juelz Santana’s video shoot for “Jingle Bellz,” but was instantly shut down without even uttering a single lyric.
“I was prepared to spit for Dame Dash, but he kind of just went ‘Nah’ and walked away,” Banks said.
