In the Northern Hemisphere, Fall does not officially begin until September 22. In most minds, Summer is definitely over from the moment the month of September rolls around. Over the past few months there have been quite a few songs that helped to make our summer a little bit more enjoyable. Whether the tempo was lightening fast or as frozen as ice, a handful of songs will always be there to remind us how we spent the Summer of 2012. Take the jump... [...]
I've been a huge and very vocal support of Azealia Banks for quite a while now, though the more she dropped new tracks the more I grew tired of her as she came across as just recycling the same old beats and rhymes. Listening to this free mixtape Fantasea , though, it kinda changes things up a little bit. Other than her Jumanji EP it's the first multi-track release she's dropped and the closest thing to a complete [...]
Azealia Banks, the Harlemite, has been doing her thing for years now and it finally seems that Banks is about to explode into the mainstream. From her hood flow in her songs to her valley girl speech, we love this energetic slice of chocolate. Yes, her offensive/defensive habits can be annoying but she just needs to tune all of the "it" out. However, we respect her artistry and feel as though we should pay respect before she is that megastar. That is why we bring you Azealia Banks: The One Miss Consistent C*NT Collection . Banks consistently [...]

After being delayed and pushed back a couple of times due to management changes and having it mastered professionally, Azealia Banks 's first official EP and physical release "19913 is out. Two of the tracks are old, the interminably infectious and repeatable "2123 and its slightly more tame followup "Licquorice" , but the other two tracks "19913 and "Van Vogue" , both similar in style and production quality, but the ferocity and punch are as evident as [...]
Últimamente no dejan de surgir las noticias en torno a esta chica. Después de cancelar varios conciertos debido a la preparación de su inminente EP 1991 y del primer trabajo de estudio, Azealia Banks volvía a reconfirmar las fechas y además anunciaba no sólo los detalles de citados lanzamientos, sino el de uno nuevo, una mixtape que precedería a ambos. Pues bien, esa mixtape ya tiene fecha. Parece ser que la fecha elegida es el día de la independencia, el 4 de julio. De la cinta no se sabe mucho [...]
Though the excitement over tracks like "2123 and "L8R," I've remained pretty luke warm on rap senstation Azealia Banks. But the closer we come to the release of her new 1991 EP, the more I realize she's got a great ear for beats. Early, early this year, she was doing her thing over a new Machinedrum track, and now she's tearing it up over a bright and kooky instrumental conjured by Hudson Mohawke and Nick Hook with "Jumanji." And she's definitely laying a tough attitude on with this one. Her flow on this track [...]
AZEALIA BANKS — JUMANJI @disco_naivete
Hace unos días os contaba lo que eran sin duda dos grandes noticias. Para empezar, Azealia Banks reconfirmaba su actuación en Madrid con motivo del Día de la Música, festival que se había visto obligada a cancelar por temas relacionados con la producción de su disco debut. Además, también se anunciaba el lanzamiento de una nueva mixtape y se aseguraba que el EP y el disco iban por buen camino, y verían la luz a finales de mes y en otoño (boreal) respectivamente. Para abrir boca también se nos informaba de que [...]
Gobby NY up-and-comer Azealia Banks links hipster Scot maestro Hudson Mohawke for a number inspired by that film with Robin Williams and a supernatural board game which emits jungle wildlife.
It appeared that Azealia Banks was ready to derail her own hype train a few weeks ago. Cancelations of summer festival appearances, manager change and a push back of her planned 1991 EP weren't necessarily bad ideas. Banks needs to come correct with Broke With Expensive Taste as a killer debut album (it will be out in September) and perhaps taking her time with things rather than rushing things out is a good thing. In the interim though, Ms. Banks will release a mixtape called Fantastic . This time around, Nick Hook [...]
![Azealia Banks - 'Jumanji' [Track Of The Day]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4263624_lg.jpg)
Azealia Banks has released the lead single off her upcoming mixtape Fantastic , and it's really quite an interesting listen. The track is titled 'Jumanji' and it's sure to be just one song in a long string of releases by Banks, considering that she plans to have at least a mixtape, an EP and her debut LP done by the end of 2012. You can listen to 'Jumanji' below.
Harlem rapper, Azealia Banks released this lyrical monument two days ago via her SoundCloud. This is the product of her interfacing with the Scottish icon Hudson Mohawke and Swedish production veteran, Nick Hook . Nick launched his first club in London called Up, which later became London's legendary Loosen Up . Azealia has recently announced that she is cancelling all festival dates to put all her efforts towards her debut album. Download for free below. Bless, Rader
This song may have just made me start following Ms. Banks music more often. Over a Hudson Mohawke and Nick Hook produced beat, Azealia Banks makes a push for a spot in the game. This is the first release leading up to her mixtape Fantastic . Maybe it could be that I'm a sucker for steel drums, but this beat is incredible. With Nicki Minaj seeming to be moving more and more pop sounding, I'm thinking Azealia Banks is going taking the throne of female [...]
She's not even released her debut EP 1991 yet but that's not going to stop Azealia Banks from giving us ... Continue reading
Azealia Banks dropped "Jumanji", a new track off of her new mixtape "Fantastic" coming this summer. The track is produced by Hudson Mohawke and Nick Hook who dropped some dope beats perfectly fitting of Azealia's style. Hudson Mohawke best known for his track "Cbat" has changed up his style a bit to help create a dope base for Azealia to drop her insane flow over. Her wordplay and rhymes are fantastic and her new mixtape coming this summer should be nothing short of that, "Fantastic."
Azealia Banks cancelou a sua presença no SBSR, mas acaba de oficializar o seu "Jumanji". Uma malha repleta de atitude e de tropicalismos com muitas baterias e sintetizadores à mistura, produzido por Hudson Mohawke e Nick Hook. O seu Ep "19913 está quase a sair, fazendo antever o seu álbum de estreia "Expensive Taste" com data marcada para Setembro. Até lá façam o download gratuito deste "Jumanji" aqui mesmo. Daniel Campos
Azealia Banks loosed "Jumanji" earlier today via her twitter account, saying it is off of the Fantastic mixtape. The Harlem MC utilizes a tropical influenced beat produced by Hudson Mohawke and Nick Hook to deliver some fresh rhymes, true to her nature she spares no blows. The continued electronic influence is also apparent, which you can also hear on here Diplo produced track " Fuck Up The Fun ". Stay on the lookout for more leaks from the tape. Download Azealia Banks: "Jumanji"
Azealia Banks has etched another step in her inexorable march towards a full-length LP: "Jumanji," the first track off her upcoming mixtape, Fantastic. Fantastic, which will be released this summer, seems to signify she's taking a slower pace before she puts out a proper album. Whatever happened to "the future of music?" This track is good enough, and her flow is excellent as usual, but there's a lot of nonsense that's not sick enough to justify sticking it in there. My take is it's unfair to judge until she gets some really good producers - the [...]
