I was unaware that it was Mother’s Day when I took my mom to The Olive Garden for breakfast, so I really dodged a bullet with that. And I mean a metaphorical bullet of course. Anywho, my slave-driver of a boss at TMT, Mr P a.k.a. “Slave-Driver,” slapped a news story on my desk the same morning about Azealia Banks releasing her debut EP, 1991 , on Interscope/Polydor May 29, digitally, and June 12, physically. I had no fapping clue who Azealia Banks was. Though, I did think of the “Ashley Banks” character from classic 80s sitcom ...

Azealia Banks, the 20-year-old rapper/singer from Harlem, topped NME's Cool List and ranked in the Top 3 of the BBC Sounds of 2012 poll. Continue reading →

The many beefs of Azealia Banks, who’s breakthrough track ’212′ saw her given a hall pass to a global tour seems to be losing her shine. With only a handful of tracks following the viral one hit wonder featuring Lazy Jay, Banks seems to be dedicating a large proportion...

Mark Foster und Isom Innis von Foster The People begründen ihr DJ-Projekt Smims&Belle; mit einem Remix für Lana Del Rey s aktuelle Single "Blue Jeans", auf welchem Azealia Banks auch ein paar Zeilen rappen durfte. In diesen gibt sich die aus Brooklyn stämmige Rapperin gewohnt lässig und bringt neben den Techno-Elementen von Smims&Belle; und Del Reys veträumtem Gesang noch ein spannendes drittes Element in den Track ein. Trotz identischer Übernahme der Harmonien erwächst der Song durch die Beteiligung von Banks und Foster zur brachialen Ghetto-Bass-Replik, von welcher ihr euch im Folgenden einen Blick verschaffen könnt: Lana Del Rey - "Blue Jeans ...

I’ve gotten some good feedback on the Jr Blender remix of Somebody I Used to Know, so I’ve decided to take his best remixes of other popular songs and feature them here. It sets the perfect vibe for a chill spring sesh. I love this post, and I know you will too. Robyn – [...] Related posts: Sex Ray Vision – Blender Azealia Banks feat.

I realize I’ve been out for a couple of days, but I’m ready to get back into the action. I’m throwing you a bunch of club bangers from all sorts of directions, both full releases and previews. Sticky K’s remix of 212 is a much needed refresher for a seriously underrated song. This track is [...] Related posts: Supermusique!- Do You Want Me (Lazy Rich Remix) Collie Buddz (feat.

If Azealia Banks is good at one thing, it’s got to be her choice of producers. She’s worked with Lunice, Machinedrum, and Lazy Jay already, but now she’s enlisted producer extraordinaire Diplo with this free download “Fuck Up The Fun”.…

Title: 212 Label: Polydor Release: 26 th March What’s The Story? Azealia Banks has been lurking around on the urban music scene, having released her debut album back in 2009. Though it wasn’t until the tail end of last year that she was catapulted into the flood of mainstream success that she has received from her track 212. Having since joined the NME awards tour, now set to milk the release of 212, with the introduction of a 212  EP. Containing the original track, as well as Liquorice and a couple of remixes of 212 . How It Sounds ...

Belgian DJ Lazy Jay, the man inadvertently responsible for producing Azealia Banks’ hit “212,” is a great remixer, too. His takes on Conor Maynard’s “Girls” are catchy. My personal favorite is the “future retro” edit, largely because it manages to channel “Right Round” and not sound three decades out of place. Conor Maynard – Girls [...]

We're thinking the appropriate gear dancing to 212 would be booty shorts, a liquor bottle and a used condom stuck to your sneaker? Lord knows no one can look as cute as Azealia Banks when saying the words cunt and doo-rag. We've been digging the original version since last year, and this Tommie Sunshine & Disco Fries Edit takes it one notch further brain frying on the dance floor with some subtle tweaks and a full blow out near the end. Azealia is destined for great things, and when she performed 212 at Karl Lagerfeld 's house a while ...

Harlem's Azealia Banks came out with the song "212" feat. Lazy Jay a couple weeks ago and it's so effing good. Like, I'm sitting here on Monday morning about to pass out ON my desk and "212" is the only thing keeping me tapping my foot, which is, of course, keeping me awake. Science. In an interview with Nylon mag last week, Azealia let us know that her new album, entitled Broke with Expensive Taste will be coming out in September and she's taking a hiatus from "socializing" cause she needs to finish the album up ...

Literally, just three years ago, rap from a female perspective was at an all-time low.  Remy Martin   and  Foxy Brown  were locked-up and  Lil Kim  was washed-up. Really, hip-hop’s only hope was  Lauryn Hill's  epic comeback album. Um, yeah, sh*t was bleak. Things were so bad, even  CNN  wrote a story about it.  DETAILS: Azealia Banks Comes Out The Closet As Bisexual  And then  Nicki Minaj  came along. Her debut album,  Pink Friday , was a huge critical and commercial smash, going double platinum and establishing her as one of hip-hop’s most powerful voices. VIDEO: T.I ...

WHO: Formerly the teen rapper known as Miss Bank$, who rapped over a Ladytron ("Seventeen") track and was affiliated with tastemaking British label XL (via Diplo), the now-20-year-old Harlem MC-singer (recently signed to Universal) is now making noise on the strength of "212," her dizzyingly addictive throwdown released last fall. The song blew minds thanks to a kinetic black-and-white video of Banks rapping her ass off and cheekily grooving to producer Lazy Jay's buoyant beat. She effortlessly switches up styles, bouncing from aggressive raps to a foul-mouthed, filter-house breakdown to a gorgeously crooned bridge to, well, even meaner rhymes ...

David Guetta played this very not safe for work remix of “212″ by Azealia Banks at his Roseland Ballroom show last night. Dance music’s resident hippie, Tommie Sunshine, and the Disco Fries collaborated to take the original version of “212″ and turn it into a dance floor ready banger. By electrifying the original bass line [...]
