Well, this is certainly a collaboration that was "written in the stars." It seemed only a matter of time until the omnipresent Diplo took an interest in the compelling, young rapper Azealia Banks . Although the specific details of this collab are unknown for the time being, it makes sense that Diplo would be the one to seek out Azealia. You have to admit, the guy's got a real knack for picking out up-and-coming hip-hop/pop stars. Nevertheless, "up-and-coming" feels like an understatement when referring to Banks' catapult launch to blogosphere ubiquity. With big [...]
Today was a big day in internet history, with hundreds of websites blacking out in protest of the SOPA and PIPA bills making their way through Congress. If these bills are allowed to pass, the internet as we know it will be drastically changed; changed for the worse. In a world where these bills are passed into law, sites like Youtube, Soundcloud, Twitter, Facebook and, most importantly, Bright &

15. Azealia Banks - 212 Anyone who thought that female fronted electro-rap had run it's course was forced to eat their metaphorical hat this year when Azealia Banks ' '2122 swiftly went viral. Like a showreel, the record demonstrated a multitude of talents - from tough as nails and filthy as hell Harlem rap, to an impressive R&B croon to a pretty aggressive battlecry. And all of this whilst delivering one of the biggest party bangers in recent memory. We're hyped to see what Azealia's Paul Epworth -produced album will sound like and with [...]
We haven’t been able to get enough of twenty-year-old Harlem rapper and singer Azealia Banks since we first heard her completely flawless jam-of-all-jams “212” , so it’s no surprise we’re psyched on her latest track “Liquorice,” which she dropped on Tumblr this weekend. Azealia makes short work of her backing track, Lone’s “Pineapple Crush” , with that dizzying, electric, and completely singular flow that’s so fast and inscrutable you can only pick out her dirtiest lines and then get lost until the next vocal [...]
Someone's been telling Azealia Banks exactly whose beats to rap over in order to take over the end of 2011, and her most recent flow over Lone 's Pineapple Crush has sealed the deal. Everything about her recent London move and Paul Epworth collaboration sounds like she's working with XL - which is only a guess for now - but we'll all see what's really going on when press [...]

Gwyneth Paltrow's favorite rapper, Azealia Banks, released sweet and salty "Liquorice" last night on her Tumblr. On it, she raps and sings over Nottingham producer Lone’s love affair with Detroit Techno, "Pineapple Crush." Stream: Azealia ... read more
Azealia Banks uploaded new track 'Liquorice' to her Soundcloud which features the MC rapping over a Lone beat ( Pineapple Crush) . Can't wait to see what more she's got coming for us in 2012.
She's done it again! After showing she knows her stuff with a Machinedrum collab, now she's spat all over an original Lone production - his beautiful rave banger Pineapple Crush . Lone is possibly my favourite UK producer - his blissful style positively killing any memory of 'other electronic music' for me when I listen to him. Azealia Banks has great taste. She also shows why she's not just another Kid Sister/Amanda Blank/Rye-Rye, and could perhaps be the new Fresh Prince(ss)? She can certainly keep a flow going like the aforementioned [...]
Undie-hip hop newcomer Azealia Banks continues to dish out the awesomeness with newest freebie treat "Liquorice", another dip in the feel-good hip-house pool (this time based around a sample of Lone 's old-school rave 2010 shuffler "Pineapple Crush" ) sparked aflame by rewind-worthy dosages of her rapid-fire tongue twisting flow and naughty-naughty lyricism. "Take a lick up on my genital/ Then sip the sabre/ Do your man and his licorice's interest a favor," she spits, one of many nuggets of flavor-filled advice-some of which is delivered in a teasingly brief display of her [...]
