Banner bounced back in a major way in 2005 when he emerged healthier and more focused. His fourth album Certified saw him stepping out of his comfort zone and allowing input from outside producers. The first single “Ain’t Got Nothing” featured Mr. Magic and Lil Boosie, marking the first time Boosie appeared on a nationally recognized single.
The album’s second single “Play” produced by Mr. Collipark wound up being the biggest hit on the album. The song borrowed elements from Ying Yang Twins’ “Whisper Song” and would go down as perhaps one of the raunchiest songs ever recorded. But hey, the ladies loved it.
