Soul rapper Plan B has revealed he will be 'retiring' his character Strickland Banks after his countrywide tour.He said:
"He’s a soul singer who’s found success very quickly and it’s gone to his head. I’m just telling a story, a scene from my career and it won’t be around for ever.
"[Banks is] completely disconnected, a fictional creation, fictional people, no relation to my life. Now the music is so successful it’s getting harder.
"I’m like a film director. On the album cover it says Plan B presents… The Defamation of Strickland Banks. It’s me portraying this character Strickland Banks for this one project, this one album."
He revealed that he may return with a totally different vibe on his next album saying:
"It could be dubstep or reggae. We almost released a folk song. That's the thing about me. If I feel like I’ve created a great piece of music then it doesn’t matter what genre it is, I’ll put my name to it.
Folk?? Really?? Maybe he should just stick with the soulful rap...
