This March is without a doubt an important month for Azealia Banks. Memorable for her and fantastic for her fans. The 23-year-old rapper/singer-songwriter finally physically releases her album Broke With Expensive Taste. Besides that, she’s the first rapper ever to appear on the cover of Playboy Magazine’s Music Issue this April (in stores since last week).
Azealia Banks is a tough girl. This is no surprise, because she’s raised in Harlem New York, without a father while being molested by her mother. However, she had the ability to transform this misery into pure strength and now she’s a star with a brand new album! The release of this debut studio album had some delay, mainly due to difficulties in finding the right record label. It’s hard to describe the actual genre of the music; besides Hip Hop her style contains elements of Dance, House and Dubstep. It’s easier just to call it genius, or as The New York Post says: ‘excitingly fearless!’ Since you probably already know her amazing song ‘212’, which she released as a single a couple years ago, we’d like to show you another great track of the album. The video of ‘Heavy Metal and Reflective’ is directed by Rob Soucy and Nick Ace and filmed in the desert outside of LA. Get ready for a sandstorm and check it out!
