David Banner spoke with Billboard.com about his involvement in a new project that features rap acts putting their spin on vintage hits from super producer Quincy Jones.
"Quincy Jones got me, Akon, Pharrell Williams and T-Pain and allowed us to choose and remake our favorite songs," says Banner of the project, a date for which has yet to be set. "I chose 'Give Me the Night' by George Benson with Jamie Foxx singing it."
The Mississippi-based rapper, meanwhile, just released his fourth album, "The Greatest Story Ever Told," this week via SRC/Universal. His goal was to make the project as diverse as possible.
"If you're into political and spiritual stuff like 'Cadillac on 22's,' that's on there for you," says Banner. "If you like street stuff, that's on there. I tell my story of coming up to New York alone from Mississippi and being homeless in the garment district. No one's heard that before."
