After once again grabbing headlines this past weekend after deleting her Twitter account and leveling some harsh (yet arguably well-deserved) criticism at the 'urban media' and the all-encompassing 'rap game", the ever-growing enigma that is Azealia Banks is back with a new song to temporarily shift our focus back to her music. Banks' new Machinedrum-produced cut "Aquababe" will be included on the vocalists' forthcoming mixtape, Fantasea.
Despite openly shedding her previous appellation as a rapper and the apparent baggage and limitations that come along with it in her recent address to the media and fans via Tumblr, the 21-year old Harlemite can be heard spitting bars on her latest cut. As Banks moves forward with her career and strives to focus on being a 'vocalist' one has to wonder, have we seen and heard the last of the "212" Azealia Banks. Only time will tell.
