Ayo... I live in NYC and suppose I rock the 347 area code with a burning fiery fury. Azealia Banks, however, does it so much radder with her new phone-hype homemade clip for 212, a track we loved up on not too long ago. The rapstress looks so happy in this clip, but don't let it fool you. BAD WORDS in this heater.
212 by Azealia Banks
Well hello schizoprenifavorite rap of the summer! Way way waaaaay back in early 2009, I hailed and heralded the quick-lipped spit and flow of a youngster named Azealia Banks. Dropping verses on a Ladytron track was so "ohhh-nine" though, because jump to today and we're totally grooving on this ridiculously rad shout out to the isle of Manhattan.
212 is her latest effort, a lewd-laced cut that places Banks' unique tones above, um, are those "house elements"? Yes, they are. Amidst the b, c, n, s and f-words, you must pay attention to two wildly fantastic switch up beat tricks, first at the :45 mark and then again at the 2:17 stamp.
She also sings in this "snarl growl" for a few seconds that's half snarky, part serious and all amazing.
Get it and love it.
