Hip Hop General

The duo's musical style can be described as the best of both worlds: the lyrical prowess of the East coast with a Southern dialect and a ravenous hunger that's ready to be fed! Influences from Nas, A Tribe Called Quest,Snoop, Outkast and Scarface have given Presidential the drive to become superstar lyricists in the Hip-Hop game.
Band/artist history
Twin partners-in-rhyme Damon J. Banks and Daimeon S. Banks were born August 24, 1978 to John and Deloris Banks as the 13th and 14th of 17 children. They lived in the infamous Turnkey 3 projects in Durham, NC where they graduated from Southern Durham High School in 1996. They then went on to Virginia State University where they were prominent football stars and graduated with honors. As youth, the duo always felt they had the gift of gab and would write rhymes and narrarations of life stories on paper. Shortly after high school in June of 1998, the brothers made a promise to their passing mother to not end up dead or in jail...so this is the route they chose. Damon and Daimeon started to take rap seriously in high school but were not really inspired to make it happen until their friend Ill Phil came through with some beats. They were later introduced to Yung Cassius (aka Camara), M.O.S., and the Hotbloc fam. The Prezzy twins (Willie J. Clinton & Dic Nixon) were instant additions to the Hotbloc roster after one listen to their articulate rhyme skill. They then started performing at local talent showcases with the Triangle Music Group (a collaborative NC production company made up of Hotbloc Records and Nasty Fruit Productions) and opening for such major rap acts as Big Daddy Kane, DJ Kool and others.
