Banks joins a long list of women who have graced the pages of Playboy.
“Some of the world’s most famous women have appeared in Playboy, including Marilyn Monroe, Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Elle Macpherson, Farrah Fawcett, Raquel Welch, Bo Derek, Drew Barrymore, Iman, Daryl Hannah, Kim Kardashian, Sharon Stone, Grace Jones, Denise Richards, Brooke Burke, Rosanna Arquette, Jaime Pressly, Carmen Electra, Lizzy Jagger, Lisa Rinna and Pamela Anderson,” the Playboy article says.
Banks’ album, Broke With Expensive Taste, debuted online in November. The physical copy will be available on March 3.
“Banks can be called a lot of things, one thing that she can’t be labeled is predictable,” HipHopDX said in its review of the collection. “That mantra is delivered in spades in BWET. There’s a deep level of spindled focus past the surface sounding schizophrenia. In a time where every emerging rap or pop wanna-be yearns for Mike Will Made It and DJ Mustard productions, Banks defiantly gives trends the middle finger like everyone else she’s beefed with in her hyper political early industry history. BWET is a chaotic album from an equally chaotic specimen. And for everything it does well, it also suffers from it’s anthology like etymology.”
