2013: Tha City
After a brief hiatus, Robb began working on another project titled Tha City. He promoted the mixtape by releasing singles off the
project including "Practice", "All the Way Live", and "On Me". Tha City was released on October 1, 2013.[7] Prior to the release
of this tape rumors had surfaced as to whether or not Shaggy was Robb's father, a fact that was formerly denied, but was soon
confirmed by him to be true by making the cover for Tha City an old family photo of Banks and Shaggy. After the release of this
mixtape, Robb went on a year-long hiatus as he continued touring and spreading his music around the world.

2014–15: 2PhoneShawty, No Trespassing and Year of the Savage

Throughout 2014, Robb began touring around the world and rarely released new music, only to show that he is still working on
Year of the Savage. This was until the end of the year, when he began hinting new projects that have been in the work. In
December, Banks put out the first (promotional) single for his debut commercial release, called "2PhoneShawty". It ended up
being the only song recorded in 2014 on the entire album.

In 2015, he started working on a new batch of music for YOTS, which would mainly feature production from his new affiliate
Nuez.[8] In April, Robb released two extended-plays: 2PhoneShawty and No Trespassing. The 2PhoneShawty EP consisted of
outtakes from Year of the Savage, and No Trespassing was a collaboration between him and Memphis-born rapper Chris Travis,
all recorded in 2014.

On August 13, 2015, Banks released the lead single for his album, titled "Pressure". After that he continued to promote YOTS by
releasing a bunch of freestyled tracks. It was during one of these freestyles ("Throw It Up") that he confirmed the release date for
his long-awaited album.

On October 2, 2015, Robb Banks released Year of the Savage through 300 Entertainment's Dorian Distribution.[5]

2016–2017: C2: Death of My Teenage and Rich Gang

On September 27, 2016, Banks released a sequel to "Calendars", titled "C2: Death of My Teenage", which featured guest
appearances from Los Hosale and XXXTentacion (which one he will later join in his group Members Only (hip hop collective)
.[9] The mixtape was preceded by the release of the single "Bett".[10][11]

Following the release of the mixtape, Robb embarked on a tour of the same name, which was to feature fellow South Florida
rappers Ski Mask the Slump God, Wifisfuneral and Ronny J. New Jersey's Da$h and Chicago's Warhol. SS were also set to open.
Before the tour began, however, Da$h was arrested, causing him to be dropped from the tour.

In early January 2017, it was announced by Cash Money Records founder Birdman that Banks was the newest member of the
label's Rich Gang subsidiary.[12][13] Robb later confirmed that while he was a part of Rich Gang, he would continue to be an
independent artist, choosing not to sign with Cash Money.

At this time, Banks also took to Twitter to announce a new project titled "Falconia", a sequel to his sophomore effort "Tha
City".[14]
On September 26, 2017 Banks released EP "Cloverfield 2.0"[15] Months later, on December 27, 2017, he dropped another EP
called "2: Pillz".[16]

2018–present: Molly World and Falconia

On February 12, 2018, Banks released single "A Milli (4 M's)" and announced the upcoming release of "No Rooftops 2:
Reloaded".[17] Weeks later Banks would released a mixtape titled "Molly World" through Empire Distribution on March 9,
2018.[18] Track 14 of "Molly World" "Let Da Beat Build" was made part of Cash Money's "Before Anythang" Documentary
Soundtrack.[19][20] On April 7, 2018 Bank$ and Wifisfuneral released lead single "EA" from their upcoming collaborative
project.[21][22]

On April 27, 2018, Banks announced that his long rumored project Falconia will be arriving sometime in Summer 2018.
According to Banks, Falconia will have 3 acts, and a grand total of 43 songs.[23]

Influences
Banks' style is notorious for its heavy sampling of old school R&B, pop culture and Japanese anime.[3] Robb states his inspiration
to rap comes from Biggie Smalls and that one of his favorite artists of all time is British quiet storm-style singer Sade.[3][5] Robb
has also mentioned Lil' Wayne, Webbie, SpaceGhostPurrp and Slug as an influence to his sound. His tag "I Think I Might Be
Happy" is synonymous with his music and is taken from a scene of the U.S. version of Skins. Banks frequently makes references
to Japanese anime Naruto and calls it his favorite anime of all time. Banks also refers to himself as "Femto" from the Japanese
manga, Berserk.
