I credit Donwill for (finally) putting me on to Tank and The Bangas. So, at long last, the group makes their DopeHouse debut with “DM Pretty.”
The track, originally from Tarriona “Tank” Ball’s poetry collection, went viral on Tik Tok due to its empowering message. “I wrote ‘DM Pretty’ so that women could know that they are beautiful, dope, sexy, smart and obviously pretty,” says Ball. “I also love when people really listen to the poem in its entirety to see why he’s sliding into her DM’s…. It starts off with a compliment at about 2 A.M. in hopes that charm can get them what they really want but if she already knows that she won’t be so quick to flatter…. My hope is that real conversations can happen around this poem and people can truly feel seen through its intent.”
