Azealia Banks — "Aquababe"
- Artist: Azealia Banks
- Track: Aquababe
- Producer: Machinedrum
- Album: Fantasea
Azealia Banks, we hardly knew you. Though the 20-year-old B.K. buzzmaker recently announced via Twitter that she "no longer [wishes] to be a rapper" and will be cutting all ties with the rap game and urban media, fans will be happy to hear that, whatever it is she's doing now, it sounds pretty much indistinguishable from rap. Case in point: new mixtape single "Aquababe," which finds her taking aim at her musical peers over grimy production by Machinedrum. For more from the up-and-coming emcee, whatever-she-thinks-she is, grab a copy of new street album Fantasea when it arrives on the 'net July 4.
