Perspektives

Big Bank sits down with one of his most requested guests, Atlanta rapper Omaretta, for an unfiltered conversation about independence, industry politics, mental health, and finding peace at 30. Raised in Atlanta's Zone 3 after losing her father, Omaretta reflects on her upbringing, the importance of honesty, and why being "real" means standing on your truth. She opens up about walking away from Love & Hip Hop after feeling pressured to prioritize drama over music, navigating depression and public misconceptions, and the challenges of maintaining her integrity in an entertainment industry that often rewards controversy over authenticity.

Omaretta also reveals the business struggles that slowed her music career, including a seven-year contract, management conflicts, and music releases being blocked or removed. Now fully independent, she discusses reclaiming creative control, protecting her earnings, and building a career on her own terms. The conversation also explores Atlanta's evolving hip-hop culture, her musical influences, dream collaboration with Rihanna, hands-on approach to business, and perspectives on love and relationships. With new music on the horizon following "What Else," Omaretta makes it clear she's entering a new chapter focused on ownership, happiness, and doing things her way.

After surviving 17 years in Michigan prisons,Dawgfacesays the streets he returned to play by an entirely different set of rules. In this episode of Perspektives with Bank, Big Banksits down with the self-described “ghetto spokesman” to unpack how street culture, prison, hip-hop, and social media have collided into what he calls an entertainment economy. Dawgface traces his journey from Pontiac to Detroit, entering the streets at 15, cycling through juvenile detention, and eventually serving a prison sentence from 1992 to 2009. He reflects on violence, carrying bullets in his back, Nation of Islam structure and self-policing behind the wall, and how fatherhood and a powerful letter from his grandmother helped change his mindset. His years studying history, religion, and politics would ultimately reshape how he viewed the world outside.

Dawgface and Bank then debate what happened to traditional street codes in an era where rap lyrics, podcasts, gossip, and social media can shape reputations, fuel character-assassination campaigns, and potentially become evidence in RICO investigations. They tackle gossip versus accountability, Atlanta’s real “trenches” versus the version outsiders see, rap personas versus street reality, and Bank’s responsibility as a media figure. For Dawgface, the biggest difference between yesterday’s streets and today’s culture is simple: everybody has a platform, everybody has a narrative, and the streets have become content.

In this bonus episode of Perspektives with Bank, Big Bank sits down with Detroit’s Mr. Beat The Odds, who shares his story of spending 14 years, two months, and 14 days in prison for a first-degree murder he maintains he did not commit. He details allegations of juror misconduct, guilt by association, withheld alternative-suspect evidence, and a recorded confession he says pointed elsewhere. Determined to prove his innocence, Mr. B taught himself the law behind bars, helped other incarcerated people pursue legal relief, filed 43 motions in his own case, and eventually represented himself before securing a dismissal that he says centered on Brady violations and interrogation evidence showing investigators had reason to believe he wasn’t responsible.

Now home for roughly two and a half years, Mr. B has turned his experience with the criminal justice system into a new purpose. A certified paralegal with a full scholarship to law school, he plans to become an attorney while helping others fight wrongful convictions and mentoring young people to avoid the circumstances that changed his life. He also discusses preparing a wrongful-conviction lawsuit, building his “Mr. Beat the Odds” brand, and telling his full story in his upcoming book, The Real Suffer the Most—transforming more than 14 years behind bars into a mission centered on justice, education, and giving others a second chance.

In this episode of Perspektives with Bank, Big Bank sits down with relationship coach and motivational speaker Tony Gaskins for an honest conversation about mental health, spiritual warfare, marriage, and the pressure of living publicly in front of millions of followers. Gaskins opens up about being an introvert who often masks stress, struggles to rest, and carries the emotional weight of coaching people around the world largely without a team. He reflects on his transformation from a scholarship athlete who became involved in the streets and struggled with infidelity to a major turning point in 2007, when his wife left and a robbery forced him to reevaluate his life, relationships, discipline, and the man he wanted to become.

Gaskins also breaks down his approach to discovering purpose through pain, overcoming adversity, identifying the lessons learned, and using those experiences to serve others. As he evolves beyond being known primarily for relationship advice, he discusses The Purpose Arc, his purpose seminar, and a new mission centered on helping people understand their calling. Big Bank and Gaskins also explore fatherhood and accountability, the power of disciplined language, skepticism surrounding online coaches and “scammers,” and the business behind Gaskins’ YouTube membership community and Destiny matchmaking app. The conversation ultimately reveals the personal growth, sacrifice, and responsibility behind building a life rooted in purpose rather than public perception.

In this episode of Perspektives with Bank, Big Bank sits down with Atlanta artist G5ive on the East Side for a candid conversation about growth, survival, and the experiences that transformed his outlook on life. G5ive reflects on growing up across Atlanta neighborhoods, early involvement in the streets, juvenile cases, and serving nearly five years of a six-year prison sentence, where gang politics, constant anxiety, and misplaced loyalty taught him difficult lessons about trust and survival. He also opens up about the car accident that left him in a wheelchair for five to six months, explaining how being forced to slow down gave him the time to reflect, mature, and reevaluate the direction of his life.

G5ive also shares how traveling to Africa and the United Kingdom expanded his worldview, from observing different approaches to healthcare and homelessness to developing a deeper interest in spirituality, history, and the world beyond his immediate environment. He explains why he now prioritizes respect, protecting his peace, and doing “good business,” while viewing music as both an expression of love and a form of therapy. As he discusses his latest release and the next chapter of his career, G5ive reflects on learning to choose his battles, move with greater purpose, and embrace adversity as part of the journey, encouraging others to “go through the fire” rather than allow difficult experiences to define them.

In this bonus episode of Perspektives with Bank, Big Bank sits down with Dre for a remarkable conversation about wrongful conviction, resilience, and rebuilding life after incarceration. Sentenced in Fulton County to life plus 105 years for murder, Dre recounts the shock of hearing his sentence, the emotional toll of repeated failed appeals, and the harsh realities of surviving prison. After spending 12 years behind bars, his case was reexamined by the Conviction Integrity Unit, where new DNA testing excluded both him and his co-defendant, and a key witness formally recanted prior testimony—ultimately leading to his release. Dre opens up about the trauma of incarceration, the challenges of institutionalization after returning home, and how violence, gangs, drugs, and prison conditions shaped his perspective on life.

The conversation also explores the power of faith, loyalty, and purpose as Dre credits his girlfriend, mentors, and unwavering support system for helping him endure years of imprisonment without losing hope. Reflecting on the myths surrounding street culture, he discusses how social media and rap can influence young people, why he now values peace over respect, and how his experience transformed his mission in life. Today, working alongside Dr. Barbara and community leaders, Dre is dedicated to mentoring youth, discouraging street violence, and ensuring his legacy is defined not by the years he lost, but by the lives he helps change.
