In all honesty, as talented as many of the year’s newbies are, Azealia Banks is one of the only acts this year with material strong enough to live up to her buzz.
The only ‘new’ Female Rapper to have her music become just as celebrated as her look and personality, next year marks the release of her debut album ‘Broke With Expensive Taste’, arriving courtesy of Jimmy Iovine‘s Interscope.
So, before the project’s launch, Banks sat down with the folk over at Hunger TV this summer for an eye opening interview on her childhood, education, creativity and standing in the industry.
Get into the recently released footage below…

That lipstick pattern thingy is NOT the business girl. Anyways, I completely agree that she is only female rapper in a while with material that lives up to her buzz. I am looking forward to her debut album, hopefully it has similar strong material that was on her mix-tapes.

i find it interesting how similar her story is to Nicki’s…I hope she makes it…she’s def the biggest female rapper of the new girls…hopefully the success of Nicki will keep her career going…even though she praises Nic one day, and throw shade the next, I see she’s not being Idle…at least she’s following Nicki’s example…doing more than just music and becoming well-rounded…and also not listening to the haters that are going to call her a sellout for doing dance music…Queen Latifah was the first mogul but she stopped rapping long before then…Nicki is gonna be the first to do it while still being a rapper…hopefully Banks can do it too

Good luck to her, I hope by her album launch she finds a style that really suits her. Sometimes it feels like her team is throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks visually.
Ala that ‘Do it like a dude Jessie J look above but they should have kept the rhinestones because those little black circles…not the business.

Oh yes, we can all agree on that. She’s a hardworker and is going to do well because of it. Iggy Azawannaberatchetlea needs to take notes.
