[FRESH NEW] Azealia Banks Releases Video For "212"

Harlem rapper/singer Azealia Banks doesn't hold back on her new single "212" that is definitely not safe for radio (or your workplace, NSFW) but it sure is ready to tear up the dancefloor. Bare-knuckle and bad-ass, it's some next-level hip pop that blends Banks' saucy, straight up attitude with a hypnotic club groove that had me sit up and listen the moment the needle dropped.

After graduating from the famed Fiorello H. LaGuardia High Shool of Performing Arts, Missy Banks has been stirring up a storm across the burroughs of New York City collaborating with Diplo and the fine folks of people Fader and Nike.

In an interview with URB, she explains that she's all about mixing it up. "I'm really experimental, if I like something I'll try to create it in my own way, I just make sure to try things out," the 20 year-old New Yorker explains. "I don’t like keeping myself in one place and also I tend to make things spontaneous. One day I could be feeling like making something housey, one day I could be feeling like singing some sh*t. I’ve got some RnB stuff coming as well as some rap stuff."

Unsigned and available, it shouldn't be too long before a savvy A&R exec will scoop up Banks. She's a raw gem with a story to tell. And with hot up and coming collaborators like LuckyMe's Jacques Greene & Lunice (the Montreal fellas featured in the video) she's on to a sound that is freshly forward.
