The 20-year-old hip-hoptress hailing from Harlem, topped NME's Cool List and ranked in the Top 3 of the BBC Sounds of 2012 poll. Azealia spawned the song of the summer with "212" which SPIN referred to as a "dizzyingly addictive throwdown" while W noted: "when she's not spewing taunts, she's singing with all the depth and prowess of an R&B star."
Azealia is currently busy at work, recording her full-length debut album BROKE WITH EXPENSIVE TASTE, due out this autumn.
Her simple yet funky video for "212" featuring Lazy Jay has already racked up over 17 million views:
