Despite virtual absence from radio since 2016, the now-independent diva – thanks to undeniable bops and high quality music videos – continued to be one of the most consistent female rappers in the history of the genre.

That consistency may translate to praise and adoration from her dedicated fan base, affectionately called #Azaleans, but it hasn’t always morphed into commercial acclaim – a truth Azalea took to Twitter over the weekend to suggest isn’t just happenstance.

All roads lead to April 9 for Taylor Swift, who will be releasing the “new” version of her sophomore album ‘Fearless.’

As reported, the Pop force is re-vocalizing much of her catalogue after her original masters were sold by her former label – the fall-out of which we have covered extensively on That Grape Juice.
