Erica Banks’ Glow Up

“Buss It” soundtracked countless clips on TikTok — with Tracee Ellis Ross, Rico Nasty, and Iggy Azalea all taking up the challenge to go from no makeup to full glam — but the most impressive glow up belonged to Erica Banks, the Texas rapper behind the “Hot in Herre”-sampling track. Before January, Banks was seeing around 400,000 weekly on-demand audio streams, and by mid-January, she had reached 5 million. “Buss It” rose to Number 80 on the RS 100 in January, while Banks reached Number 479 on the Artists 500. Nelly’s 2002 hit also saw a 16 percent boost in streams.
