“It chick” Iggy Azalea is playing approximately no games in her bid to boost her album sales.
As earlier reported, the rapper will release the re-issue of her debut ‘The New Classic’ on November 24th. Titled ‘Reclassified’, the remoulded LP is being preceded by new single ‘Beg For It’ – which she’ll be performing on this weekend on Saturday Night Live.
Naturally, having become renown for titillating visuals off the back of Billboard smashes ‘Fancy’ and ‘Black Widow’, expectations are high for ‘Beg’ and it appears Azalea is pulling out all the stops to ensure it delivers.

Writing in response to a fan on Twitter, the Aussie-bred beauty revealed that famed photographer and visual director David LaChappelle will be directing the clip for the track. In the process, she also revealed that that very fact is likely to push back the album’s release:
Much like Katy Perry, Azalea’s focus on the visual aspect of her output has proven an uber smart approach in the midst of ample critique. As such, the commissioning of LaChapelle – whose credits include Christina Aguilera’s ‘Dirrty’ and Gwen Stefani’s ‘Rich Girl’ – was a stroke of relative genius.
