Azealia Banks, who recently announced that she has signed with Universal Music has been making a lot of noise since the release of the electro/pop/hip hop/everything else laced single “212.”
Let the clichéd Nicki Minaj comparisons begin. Yes, they are both New Yorkers (Nicki = Queens; Azealia = Harlem), and yes they both attended the same performing arts school (La Guardia High School of Performing Arts) but about :30 seconds in to the single it’s pretty clear Banks is not trying to ride the Harajuku Barbie wave.
Hopefully she won’t let the label strip her of everything fans have grown to love as sometimes they tend to do. We’ll see how this one plays out.
