Accuse La Banks is a rapper, songwriter and music producer. His new album contains 8 tracks in styles "Old school" Hip-hop and R&B. Coming from way back then, Accuse La Banks started his musical career in the early 90-ties performing at hip-hop festivals and clubs in Lagos, Nigeria. Crossed over to Europe, in 1996 he released his first album with all the songs on it composed by him. In the year 2000 he established his own record label "Accuse La Banks Records" and started his career as a music producer.

All the songs on his new album "Apache papa 2.1(Part Scandal)" are written and produced by him, Accuse La Banks, who is presenting his production skills in his natural state. Asked why "Apache papa", Accuse La Banks says: "For me, (Apache) is kind of a spirit of persistence, resilience, endurance and strength. A spirit to move on, and above all, a spirit of forgiveness. When I set my mind on doing things, it gonna take more than war to stop me." Influenced by God and men, the lyrics and music on the album are highly passionate, emotional and melodious, but at the same time very hard and direct in a gangster way. Beware, his lyrics are explicit!

With the pilot single on the album "Get up", Accuse La Banks hints on all the player haters: "MF, do you believe that I'm still alive? After all these years, I'm still alive!" Followed by songs like "Approach me carefully" and "Your days are numbered" Accuse La Banks fights his way out to personal victory against all odds. The album also contains love songs like "I need ya" and the "old school" gangster song "Feel me", which's also available in China Remix. The China remix demonstrates his love for kung-fu as a young boy. Peace to Bruce Lee anytime...

In this album you will hear the strength and fight reaching the peak of human protest, the pain of life, governed by the spirit of the living ghost, "who keeps coming back, to give new life to those Who are in need of it. 'Cos those that believe without seeing, those are the believers."

1.Ladies and gentlemen (3:42)
2.Approach me carefully (3:27)
