Introducing 08: Azealia Banks
9 January 2012
2012 looks like it will be a massive year for Harlem rapper Azealia Banks. Compared to the likes of Tyler the Creator and Nicki Minaj Banks topped NME's "Cool List" for the year and was nominated for the prestigious BBC Sound of 2012.
With her debut single, "212" featuring Lazy Jay building a cult following her new collaboration with the Scissor Sisters on "Shady Love" and tour with Two Door Cinema Club next month will see her jump into the mainstream in a big way with her fusion of rhymes and big house samples.
She will no doubt massively divide opinion but she is still definitely one to watch!
