Born Majesty Blessed Moses, the 23-year-old Brooklyn native was processed on drug, weapons and money laundering charges and sent to the Bergen County Jail to await a first appearance in Central Judicial Processing Court in Hackensack, City Detective Capt. Michael Antista said.

Police found more than two pounds of pot, $2,750 in proceeds and the gun, which was loaded with hollow-point bullets following an investigation by Detectives Mark Carrillo and Sergio Raneli and Detective Sgt. John Dalton., Antista said.

Antista thanked the Bergen County Regional SWAT team and NYPD for their assistance.

Banks has identified as a player in the growing subgenre of trap-influenced hip hop known as drill music, which derives its name from the slang term for shooting someone. Pitchfork called him the latest local “up-and-comer” in the genre.

Drill, which originated on Chicago South Side a decade ago, identifies with gang culture both through aggressive rat-a-tat lyrics and rigid beats. Its promoters have included Kanye West and Drake.
