Kanye West follows five people on Twitter. One of them is
Kim Kardashian, one is a Polish model, another is a clothing designer and finally
there is Azealia Banks. How does Kanye keep up with all those enlightening tweets?!
Anyway, the point is that Azealia Banks went from being some
20 year old rapper from Harlem to being one of the most hyped up female rappers
in recent memory. She’s now working with producer Paul Epworth (Adele, Cee Lo
Green, Bloc Party) and will tease her upcoming full length release with an EP featuring
the tracks “212”, “Liquorice” and a handful of unheard remixes on March 25 via
Polydor.
Azealia Banks also announced a string of headlining UK dates
and will be on stage at this year’s Coachella in Indio, California. Check out
the video for “212” and the complete list of tour dates below.
