David Banner Returns with New Album

He will not turn into the Incredible Hulk (that's Bruce!) but rap's newest star, David Banner, will release a new album this fall titled Greatest Story Ever Told. The Mississippi rapper is completing his fifth album, the follow-up to 2005's Certified, for the SRC/Universal Motown label.
