More so than any other chart debutante, Azealia Banks remains one act whose appeal lies in her craft and not her look.

Kicking dust in the faces of all the Femcees she debuted with circa 2011/2012, this year will mark the arrival of her debut album, ‘Broke With Expensive Taste’, and tonight she has teased the world with lyrics from its lead single ‘Yung Rapunxel’.

We have to warn you though, if you’re under 18 you may want to journey to a ‘PG friendlier‘ post, as these lyrics are of the ‘NSFW’ persuasion.

140 characters (or less) have consistently proven themselves to be just enough ammunition for a certain Azealia Banks.  For, as the last few days have seen her engaged in an ongoing battle with fellow rapstress Angel Haze, now it seems Banks has her sights set on another diva – blogger Perez Hilton.

Indeed, Hilton nor Banks are any stranger to Twit-evoked controversy, but Friday night saw the twosome go camel toe to toe via the social media network over Hilton’s commentary on the Haze/Banks showdown.  While most of the exchange has been deleted, some of the most damaging quotes were captured.

Swapping Twitter banter for scorn-soaked bars, the newcomer fired the first shot with diss track ‘On The Edge’ last night. And with Banks barking back with ‘No Problems’ this afternoon, Haze wasted no time jabbing with another missile of her own.
