It may have been over 5 years since Iggy Azalea dropped her debut studio album, ‘The New Classic,’ but from where we stand its long-awaited follow-up, ‘In My Defense,’ is proving itself worth the wait.

In addition to blazing singles ‘Sally Walker’ and ‘Started,’ the Rap diva recently sent fans into a frenzy with another taste from the July 19th-due set – the X-rated ‘Just Wanna’ (click here to listen).  While we await news on if that bedroom banger will get the video treatment, Iggy Iggz has confirmed her next visual will not only drop on the day of her album release but will also feature fellow femcee Kash Doll.

Titled ‘F*ck It Up,’ the duet’s accompanying music video is said to be just as glossy as its predecessors from this era and will pay homage to a cult classic film.  Details inside:

Kygo, with the support and permission of and from her relatives, used Whitney Houston’s voice to build a track named ‘Higher Love.’
