From career breakthroughs to professional milestones, explore how Azealia Banks made an impact.
Azealia Banks is an American rapper, singer, and songwriter from Harlem, New York City. She began her career by releasing music on Myspace, leading to early record deals with XL Recordings, Interscope, and Polydor. She later became an independent artist and founded her own label, Chaos & Glory Recordings. Banks also had stints with Parlophone and Warner Records before becoming independent again in 2023.
In 1991, Chris Dart of Exclaim! noted that Banks' rapping speed was "remarkable", and stated that she "manages a feat that takes most rappers the better part of a career to master: the perfect marriage of bangin', club-friendly beats and smart, crisply delivered lyrics".
In May 2016, Azealia Banks posted what several media outlets described as a racist and homophobic rant against Zayn Malik and Skai Jackson. As a result, Banks was dropped by her UK booking agency and a hip-hop festival, and her Twitter account was suspended.
In October 2019, Azealia Banks announced that she would perform under the name Azilka (Russian: Азилька) during her tour in post-Soviet countries.
On March 10, 2023, "New Bottega," a collaboration between Azealia Banks and Australian house producer Torren Foot, was released by Sweat It Out, an Australian dance music label. However, Banks later stated that she did not authorize the release.
