6’2″, Bilingual, and Making Moves, Big Bank Beena Shows Why She’s a “Bad B-tch”

Before the big stages and crowded basketball arenas, Ohio-bred emcee Big Bank Beena was raised in Akron, OH. A multi-talented athlete and artist, Beena began writing poetry as an outlet in middle school before showcasing her talents on the court and behind the mic with her debut mixtape, “Postal.”

Inspired by artists like Gucci Mane and Lil Wayne, Beena describes her style as “hardcore,” but she’s not afraid to showcase her feminine side. “I can hold my own with a group of guys but I can be very prissy as well,” she confidently states. This competitive spirit aided in her basketball career as well. Beena played basketball at Firestone High School in Akron, OH and later excelled with a full ride to Georgetown College in Kentucky, where she double-majored in Political Science and French. Though highly educated she still maintains her street credibility.

Beena followed in the footsteps of her older sister, who played basketball professionally in Morocco and currently coaches at the University of Akron. However, her own WNBA and law school plans were cut short when Beena’s mother fell ill, prompting her return to the midwest to support her family and work on her craft.

With 30 produced tracks under her belt, she’s working with the powerhouse production team K&Q (“The Trillionaires”) to produce her debut project.

We were introduced through my son,” says K of the Trillionaires. “When we heard [Beena] we heard the potential and knew we could do big things. She’s 6’2″ with two degrees and speaks French but still has that street talent all rolled up in one.

Big Bank Beena aspires to top the charts and is well on her way, “I’m ready to get off the bench and in the game because I’m representing for all the tall women who do so much more than play a sport. We can be creative too.”
