Kal Banx Unveils “400” from His Debut Album RHODA

Dallas-born DJ and Grammy Award–winning producer Kal Banx continues to shape the sound of modern hip-hop—and he does it once again with his powerful new single “400,” featured on his debut solo album RHODA, now available everywhere.

A Long-Awaited Solo Debut

After years of crafting hits behind the scenes—from early collaborations with Jay Rock on the TDE roster to notable production for J. Cole on Revenge of the Dreamers III—Banx steps into the spotlight with RHODA.

The two-disc album spans 25 tracks and showcases Banx not just as a masterful producer, but a fully realized artist with a deeply personal story to tell.

“400” — A Sonic Highlight

“400” features the bold energy and creative layering of Banx’s production, bringing in vibrant guest performances that enrich the track. The single arrives as an early standout on Disc 1, positioned alongside other powerful entries like “SEQOUIA” and “CHICKEN.”

A Personal, Sonic Journey in RHODA

The title RHODA has deep emotional roots—it’s an homage to Banx’s mother, and the album explores themes of identity, grief, home, and foundation.

Speaking about the album, Banx shared:
“Grief puts certain things into perspective that you don’t even realize you have until they’re gone… That led me to realize that home wasn’t just a place; it was made up of all these different feelings and experiences.”

Musically, RHODA traverses an impressive range—from gospel-tinged ballads like “STAY WIT ME” to gritty southern rhythms like “ROB THE ROBBER.”

Star-Studded Collaborations & Production Prowess

The album features an all-star lineup of collaborators across both discs, including Isaiah Rashad, Smino, Buddy, SiR, Maxo Kream, Baby Tate, Pink Siifu, Childish Major, Audrey Nuna, Mez, and more.

While Banx helms most of RHODA’s production, he also shares credits with select collaborators, adding variety and depth to the project’s expansive soundscape.

Why It Matters

Kal Banx’s emergence as a solo artist marks the culmination of his behind-the-scenes legacy. Known for elevating others—from J. Cole and Doechii to ScHoolboy Q, Isaiah Rashad, Baby Keem, Smino, Denzel Curry, JID, and Jorja Smith—Banx now harnesses that creative capital for his own deeply expressive project.

RHODA isn’t just an album—it’s a testament to the journey of rediscovery, the power of sound, and the memories that define us.
