She may have taken a brief intermission, but the 1501 Certified, self proclaimed Flow Queen Erica Banks is back to reclaim her title. Celebrating the release of her latest album, "Diary of The Flow Queen", is her first full length project in 2 years.
Banks was joined by family (including her 1501 Certified Entertainment family), friends, and 15 of her most loyal fans and supporters at Houston's Bowlero to honor the occasion.

“I feel like it's very important because nobody is doing it. I'm taking party records and making them party records again with my own spin on it". Said Banks.
The 13 track album, which dropped on June 17, recycles classic hits, "My Neck My Back" by Khia and "Pop Lock and Drop It" by Huey by adding her very own Dallas flair. While Banks may have started out as an underground rapper posting freestyle videos on social media, she is quickly emerging as a breakout star in Hip Hop, R&B, and Pop Culture. “Diary of the Flow Queen” racked up over 14 million streams in less than 24 hours.
From having the look and the sound, she turned it up a notch on social media platforms after her song "Buss It" went viral on TikTok. Her party rap single "Show Out" was also featured on the season 2 soundtrack of the Starz Entertainment show, "P-Valley".
