About MB
MB is an eccentric talent from the SWATS section of ATL.
Raised in the famous Kings Ridge Apartments, his teen years were polished with the normal ATL fervor (Jellybeans skating rink, the Fresh Party, Westgate Theatre, The Gold Mine, and the Rainbow Arcade).
He's climbed the scales of Hip Hop from Beatboxing to Breakdancing to Graffiti Tagging to Rapper to Music Producer to Full-Scale Multimedia Artist. Like
most artists, he fought with several names (Eternal, Sage, Sage-El) and finally settled on being himself: Miquiel Banks.
MB calls to mind many things, but he encompasses the best of opposing forces; he is both rustic and sophisticated, educated and simple, esoteric and exoteric.
MB has achieved many things in the world of Hip Hop:
