In this episode of Perspektives with Bank, Big Bank sits down with Atlanta artist G5ive on the East Side for a candid conversation about growth, survival, and the experiences that transformed his outlook on life. G5ive reflects on growing up across Atlanta neighborhoods, early involvement in the streets, juvenile cases, and serving nearly five years of a six-year prison sentence, where gang politics, constant anxiety, and misplaced loyalty taught him difficult lessons about trust and survival. He also opens up about the car accident that left him in a wheelchair for five to six months, explaining how being forced to slow down gave him the time to reflect, mature, and reevaluate the direction of his life.

G5ive also shares how traveling to Africa and the United Kingdom expanded his worldview, from observing different approaches to healthcare and homelessness to developing a deeper interest in spirituality, history, and the world beyond his immediate environment. He explains why he now prioritizes respect, protecting his peace, and doing “good business,” while viewing music as both an expression of love and a form of therapy. As he discusses his latest release and the next chapter of his career, G5ive reflects on learning to choose his battles, move with greater purpose, and embrace adversity as part of the journey, encouraging others to “go through the fire” rather than allow difficult experiences to define them.

Through the Fire with G5ive

In this episode of Perspektives with Bank, Big Bank reconnects with Atlanta rapper Akbar V for a candid second take after their original conversation became more heated than intended. The two clear the air over past social media comments, a missed booking, and relationships within Atlanta’s entertainment scene before Akbar opens up about the different sides of her personality—Valerie, Akbar, and Joan. She reflects on growing up between Carver Homes and Cleveland Avenue, navigating her mother’s addiction, entering the streets at a young age, and cycling through jail, group homes, and survival mode. Akbar also addresses how being outspoken has fueled internet backlash and industry tension, while acknowledging that controversy can sometimes overshadow her talent and music career.

The conversation becomes a deeper examination of healing, accountability, faith, and personal growth as Bank challenges Akbar to step away from online conflict, release music consistently, and consider therapy as another tool for moving forward. Akbar discusses forgiveness, fasting, spirituality, marriage struggles, loyalty, and her desire for counseling, while reflecting on public conflicts involving Cardi B and Latto and the realities of navigating relationships in the music industry. Closing on the future, Akbar shares plans for new music and Blueprint Atlanta, celebrates milestones in her children’s lives, and considers what it will take to move beyond survival, protect her peace, and allow her purpose and artistry to speak louder than the drama.

In this episode of Perspektives with Bank, Big Bank sits down on Atlanta’s East Side with rapper Real Recognize Rio for a candid conversation about mental health, authenticity, trauma, and finding peace while navigating music and street culture. Rio reflects on growing up around Zone 6 and Flat Shoals, pushes back against misconceptions about the East Side, and explains why peace of mind is essential to his creativity. He shares how music and natural talent helped steer him away from deeper trouble, why he refuses to rely on gimmicks for attention, and how success, social media narratives, and changing relationships have forced him to become more intentional about who and what he allows around him.

Rio also opens up about survivor’s remorse and the devastating losses that shaped his life, including losing multiple family members and friends and the death of Scrap on Rio’s birthday. He discusses coping through isolation, getting high, and channeling pain into music, while acknowledging the value of eventually talking through his experiences and prioritizing healing. Big Bank and Rio also explore brotherhood, guidance, unity in Atlanta, and the responsibility that comes with wanting to provide opportunities for the people around you. Rio closes by discussing his album Heal the State (Real Recognize Rio) and clearing the air on a past misunderstanding involving a Duct Tape contract offer, bringing the conversation full circle around growth, loyalty, and moving forward.
