New 1501 Entertainment Artist Erica Banks Draws Comparisons To Megan Thee Stallion

Newly-signed 1501 Entertainment rapper Erica Banks (real name Erica Breaux) is turning some heads in the lead up to the drop of her debut mixtape as a 1501 Entertainment signee. Simply titled “Erica Banks,” it’s set to launch on June 19, 2020.

Prior to “Erica Banks,” the 21-year-old artist had dropped three mixtapes: “Cocky on Purpose,” “Pressure” and “Art of the Hustle.”

Born in DeSoto, Texas, Banks’ southern-flavored, confident flow is drawing comparison to fellow Texan Megan thee Stallion (real name Megan Pete), who is also signed to 1501 Entertainment, a label owned by retired MLB player Carl Crawford.

In what has become a controversial incident, Banks was allegedly in a romantic relationship with 25-year-old Bethany Lartigue, who in May drowned while attempting to save a five-year-old boy who also ended up drowning in a pool at Crawford’s home.

Given Megan’s contentious relationship with 1501 Entertainment, some have accused Crawford of signing Banks as a way to bolster his claims he’s owned credit for much of Megan’s success.

In a March video made during the period Megan was attempting to renegotiate her contract, the 25-year-old scoffed at Crawford’s claims. She said, “You mad because I don’t want to roll over and bow down like a little bitch and you don’t want to renegotiate my contract. N*ggas be like, ‘Oh yea, they made Megan thee Stallion.’

“Megan thee Stallion was Megan thee Stallion before I even got over there. I been rapping, been freestyling, been doing me, been Meg.”

Check out a sampling of Bank’s flow below.

Scathing 5,400-word report via The Cut's Tahirah H Scathing 5,400-word report via The Cut's Tahirah Hairston on Kerby Jean-Raymond whose label Pyer Moss appears to no longer be operational. 

Check out an excerpt below. 

Ten years in, Jean-Raymond’s star has only risen. He hangs out with celebrities (Tracee Ellis Ross, Brent Faiyaz), made a cameo on Insecure, and drives flashy cars (a McLaren 720S, an Aston Martin Superleggera, a Porsche GT3 RS). Meanwhile, his brand is nearly nonexistent.

There is no Pyer Moss boutique. The clothing celebrated on the runway was mostly not available to anybody who didn’t have a celebrity stylist to pull it for them, and company insiders complained that quality control was so uneven that at times what was produced was too flawed to be sold. Jean-Raymond sometimes missed deadlines, didn’t always pay bills, started other projects, and alienated allies. He referred to Pyer Moss as an “art project” and seemed reluctant to make practical choices. Among the fashion insiders who had cheered his rise, there has been a growing feeling that he has wasted an opportunity to build something important.

The last straw for many of his early supporters was his couture show in July 2021. Titled “WAT U IZ,” and put on in the U.S. during Paris Couture Week, it was a tribute to the various innovations that Black people have been responsible for, often without credit. The models came down the runway decked out in a jar of peanut butter and a traffic light. A lot of it wasn’t really clothing, much less couture. Even if the professional critics and other members of the fashion press seemed hesitant to publicly express their disappointment, they whispered among each other that he’d lost the plot of his brand.
