by Jonno Seidler ( One A Day ) I never thought I’d be the one to say this, but Azealia Banks is the problem. Like everyone else with an Internet connection and a willingness to change our mind about referring to 'the C-bomb' that didn’t win silver in the backstroke finals, I totally fell for the feisty Banks when ‘212’ came out, and again when it finally got cleared and started doing the rounds on radio and music TV. An impossible-to-hate summer jam that combined the best of youth culture, an [...]

Sorry Azealia - I think we've found our new queen bee of the 212 . Although hailing from Detroit, Angel Haze 's Gil Scott-Heron -sampling "New York" , off her recently released debut mixtape Reservation , proves that the rapper is the most impressive female MC in the game: she's got a more rapid flow than Nicki Minaj , is so badass that she makes Azealia Banks look like a Barbie [...]
"Ciant Hear It" é o novo sucesso que anda a pairar nas ruas de Estocolmo, e a culpa é dos Elliphant . O video é a preto e branco com imagens de grande angular de Mc Ellinor Olovsdotter , no chuveiro com o rímel a escorrer pelo rosto. Este "Ciant Hear It" cospe algumas rimas sujas, incluindo o próprio refrão que é bastante ousado. Mas o melhor mesmo é vocês tirarem as vossas conclusões deste tema. Daniel Campos ----- [...]

Did You Hear? :: Johnny Cash , Ray Charles and Eminem have their own gritty biopics and semi-autobiographical stories told on the big screen, and now it's time for Justin Bieber , voice of his generation, to have his. (No, Never Say Never didn't count.) UCB Comedy brings us the trailer for 8 Kilometers: The Gritty Life Story Of Justin Bieber . It's a melodramatic spin on Bieber's rise to fame, but [...]
In the wake of Frank Ocean stepping out of the closet, Le1f's latest release has received controversial reviews, both negative and positive. In his own words spoke to The Source he stated: “I am gay, and I’m proud to be called a gay rapper, but it’s not gay rap. That’s not a genre. My goal is always to make songs that a gay dude or a straight dude can listen to and just think, This dude has swag. I get guys the way straight rappers get girls. I’m not preachy. The best thing a song can be [...]

Instant dance music/ fashion icon Azealia Banks has cut her much anticipated Australian appearance very short after technical issue at the world renowned Splendour in the Grass festival in Byron Bay. The '2122 star was said to have left the stage after 25 minutes causing an up stir of confusion. Although not confirmed, sound issues has been pin pointed as the most possible issue. More to come!
After walking down the red carpet at the Met Ball arm in arm this spring, rapper Azealia Banks and designer Alexander Wang have solidified their friendship by teaming up for a video campaign of Wang's ... read more

Azealia Banks can spit her ass off, but when it comes to selecting a model, not sure why Alexander Wang felt the need to tap her. Don't get me wrong. Azealia looks decent, but she clearly has a Harlem bought hair piece and is not runway material. Nice rhymes and decent body, but no way she should be your "muse" bro. Aim higher next time, Wang.

Alexander Wang has selected Harlem rapper/aquababe Azealia Banks to represent his latest T campaign, meaning the designer places her cutting edge style among the the ranks of Santigold and Die Antwoord , who were previous faces of the campaign . That's no small praise. The partnership was made official with the above promotional video, which features a snippet of "Van Vogue" off Banks' 1991 EP, as the star raps and mugs for the camera often in split-screen. The whole thing has a '90s [...]
ARTICLE BY BRITTNEY SCOTT PHOTOS BY JASMINE SAFAEIAN JULY 14 | HOLLYWOOD—Tonight the sign at The Fonda simply read “Goldenvoice Presents: Azealia Banks,” but if you looked at the line outside the venue, you’d see glittery mermaid princesses all waiting...
Held between July 27-29, Australia’s premier festival Splendour in the Grass will be returning to its spiritual home this year. After two years at the (much larger) Woodfordia Grounds in Queensland, 2012 will see the Winter Festival back at Belongil Fields, just out of the tourist haven of Byron Bay. The festival organizers are still working on another development, purpose-built for Splendour in the Grass, but this won’t be ready till next year. It’s not only the venue which has been altered, with this year’s line-up returning to a more “Splendour appropriate” [...]
Azealia Banks Fantasea out on 7.11 Free Download While a large cohort of the hip-hop community still bemoans the melding of dance and rap, I'd say its clear at this point that, when certain things go right, the relationship works remarkably well. What has to go right? First and most importantly, the MC in question has to have good taste. Grime and Trap, two rap genres deeply rooted in electronic music, are at their best when the artists surround [...]

First off, let's talk about putting people in boxes. Azealia Banks recently hated on the use of the word "hipster" and said if you're cool, you just are. Maybe she's so pissed-off because people have been labeling her as a hipster because of photos like this: People signed to labels like Interscope and XL never try to create artist images / personas. Right? Because image is nothing to musicians. It doesn't make them money or have anything to do with the entertainment business. Glad [...]

A smattering of new female acts clawed their way to the top of the pop ladder in the first half of 2012. Lana Del Rey effortlessly transitioned from indie-darling to global superstar, a subtle synth-pop anthem proved to be Ellie Goulding ’s ticket to the Top 5 and Carly Rae Jepsen unleashed the all-conquering bubblegum-pop juggernaut “Call Me Maybe” . But who is going to follow in their much-hyped footsteps? We attempt to answer that very question by shining a light on [...]

After managing to diss her mgmt(s), producers, hip-pop community, poppers including the N MINAJ, the L KIM, the T.I, the I AZALEA, many a Twitter users, and your bff, the AZEALIA BANKS is now attacking her fans, aka the hipsters. I really hate hipsters. That's one type of person I can't stand. Hipsters are those socially inept cornballs who at any given moment have to bring you down about dumb shit like musical knowledge n clothes. You can be cool and not be a hipster. The word hipster is whack [...]

Azealia Banks - Fantasea Self-Released: 2012 In many cases hype is a divisive force, splitting listeners into two extreme camps so that no one can see clearly from either side. Azealia Banks ' “ 212 ” did just that: inexperienced, over excited fans thought she was the messiah, while staunch hip-hop nerds thought she was fashion rap trash. Neither, of course, were right. For one thing, it would be very hard to say that “212” isn’t a good song. It walks the line between rap insider and outsider so perfectly that its [...]

Since breaking out with last year's stunning "2123 , Azealia Banks has been on a major buzz-establishing roll, keeping the masses rocking with a steady stream of newness offering different slants of her refreshing, genre cut-and-pasting diva flavor. Last week, only a short minute after dropping the weeks-old 1991 EP, her breathless work pace manifested in the mixtape release Fantasea , a nineteen-cut collection of previously released jams, skits, remixes and never-before-heard material to give her increasingly swelling fanbase something to chew over as they await her "official" debut later [...]
