Erica Banks – Goin Down (Freestyle)/Redefined/Gossip Folks (Freestyle) [Singles]

On-the-rise rap starlet Erica Banks gets into the zone with a trio of one-off freestyles called “Goin Down (Freestyle)“, “Redefined“, and “Gossip Folks (Freestyle)“. The three tracks serve as a bit of fan service for longtime supporters as well as newcomers who may have recently been introduced to the Texas-bred rapper through her “Buss It” single which became a viral dance challenge video. The three tunes see the rapper flexing her verbal muscles on her haters, with “Going Down (Freestyle)” and “Gossip Folks” being particularly venomous as Banks fires off rounds over a couple of club-rocking instrumentals while “Redefined” slows things down a bit as Erica gets a bit introspective over a sparse, piano-driven beat. These tracks serve as a great reminder that the rapper has more than one trick up her sleeve; she’s nimble enough to deliver punchlines and rhymes over party-rocking beats (as in “Gossip Folks“) as well as more subtle, subdued beats (“Redefined“); and she makes it work either way.
