It’s been quite the journey for Azealia Banks.

Indeed, in the two years that have passed since she blazed onto the scene with ‘212’, her narrative has been one dominated by Twitter beef, delayed releases, and – most recently – the parting of ways with major label Interscope.

Undeterred, the New Yorker is back and ready to attack the charts with new single ‘Heavy Metal And Reflective’.

To build anticipation ahead of its imminent reveal, the rapper teased its accompanying video moments ago.

Watch below and let us know if you’re still checking for Ms. Banks!…

Though little can be done to throw her single-selling abilities into disrepute, there’s been some effort to poke serious holes into Iggy Azalea‘s credibility as artist by those unimpressed by what she brings to Pop’s table.

Not helped by misinformed journalists hoping to present her as Hip Hop’s fastest rising star, Azalea has found herself tasked with facing the following three criticisms since her debut in 2011.

The first, being her adoption of an Ebonic-kissed Southern American accent despite hailing from New South Wales.

The second, being that industry connections-and not her own crossover appeal- is to thank for her meteoric rise on Top 40 and Rhythmic radio.

The last? That she employs ghostwriters to pen her material for her.

Now, despite being named as one of the writers on her smash hit single ‘Fancy’, her mentor T.I. has slammed the last of the three, revealing that the Rapper “has her own ideas.”
