Azealia Banks is a 20-year-old lyricist from Harlem, NYC. She's one of those hybrids around at the moment that is kind of electronic + rap + RnB. And I love it.
Some people have (incorrectly) described her as the next Nikki Minaj... this opinion really gets up my nose. A bit like when rubbish columnists label every kooky girl singer is the next Bjork or Kate Bush?! I get offended by such a lack of imagination. All because Banks a black girl with dirty lyrics doesn't mean she's following Nikki Minaj.
Anyway rant over. I love this track.
I'm gutted they've taken this video off you tube. It would have been in my "top 5 music videos" blog post I'm planning on doing.
In the meantime here's the track... (NSFW)
