Azealia Banks thread [#saveourhens]
 
-glares at Smithy-

New York upstart Azealia Banks has kept busy as of late, issuing a string of Best New Tracks and collaborating with the likes of Machinedrum and Lady Gaga stylist Nicola Formichetti. And now the rapper/singer is signed to the biggest label on the planet, Universal, as she announced today on Twitter.

"God dealt me a really ****ed up hand at birth," she wrote. "Half the **** I've been through & successfully gotten through would blow some of your minds. God just dealt me a new hand today."

Discussing the possibility of signing to a major in a recent Pitchfork interview, she said, "I want to do this thing-- and I don't even really know what the **** 'this thing' is yet-- but considering how ambitious my ideas are musically, I definitely need a label that will really get it out there. I'm not really scared of major labels. I just want to work where I'm allowed to make mistakes and do my own thing rather than get into a situation where someone else has their own agenda of what they want me to be."
:love:

Good for her. I don't get the hype but I like what she has to say for herself, going by that snippet from an interview you posted!

Azealia Banks has posted her new track 'Bambi' online – scroll down to the bottom of the page and click to listen.

Pitchfork reports that the latest offering from the rapper was used as the soundtrack to a Paris fashion show for the clothing line Mugler, whose creative director is Lady Gaga's stylist Nicola Formichetti.

Azealia Banks is the toast of the fashion world right now. The famed Chanel designer and king of excess Karl Lagerfeld seems particularly obsessed with the Harlem-bred rapper.

He designed her a sweater just like the Mickey Mouse one she wears in the "212" video-- but with his own silhouette woven into it-- and invited her to perform at his home in Paris this week. From Lagerfeld's house, Banks Tweeted, "Listening to The Blueprint over dinner with my friends & fam at @karllagerfeld HQ", and later, "This was what Karl served us for dessert last night" with a link to a photo of an iPad also with Lagerfeld's silhouette engraved on it. Decadent!

Below, watch video of Banks performing "212" at Lagerfeld's home, seeming entirely unfazed by the madness (via the Fader):

Azealia Banks has revealed that her debut album will be titled 'Broke With Expensive Taste' and that it will be released in September.

The rapper, who wrapped up her stint as the opening act on the NME Awards Tour alongside Two Door Cinema Club, Metronomy and Tribes on Saturday (February 25), told Nylon Magazine that the album's lyrical theme would be "a young girl trying to find it".

Asked about her album, the rapper replied: "It's called 'Broke With Expensive Taste' and it's coming out in September. The theme is a young girl trying to find it."

Then asked what she meant by ''find it'', Banks said: "Success! Herself! Her path! The young girl trying to make it! That girl who's at the end of her childhood trying to get a job and make some money, you know? She needs to get what she can get! She needs to go out there and show people she knows how to work for it."

The rapper will play a sold out show at London's Heaven venue tonight (February 27) and will release her debut EP, '212', on March 25. The EP will feature the track '212', as well as 'Liquorice' and a number of new remixes.

Azealia Banks posted on Twitter that an EP titled 1991 will be out April 17, featuring two brand new tracks: "1991" and "Grand Prix". Banks was meant to release the 212 EP this week in the UK on Polydor, but a lack of mention on iTunes, the label's website (and Banks') makes it unclear whether or not it's out.

Banks also Tweeted recently that she is working on a Lana Del Rey remix. She noted that Kanye West sent her a beat, presumably for a collaboration, and that she has a collaboration with the fashion designer Alexander Wang on the horizon.

A video for her Diplo/Master-D track "**** Up the Fun" may or may not actually be in the works, featuring "@diplo in a banana suit, doing the Harlem shake on 125th & lex in front of pathmark," but let's hope so.
oo~
