Azealia Banks announces new single following label split
By Josh Haggis
Azealia Banks has announced her new single on Twitter.
The loud-mouthed rapper will release new track Heavy Metal and Reflective on July 29 – and will debut the music video simultaneously.
Banks also tweeted that she is shooting the cover for her album with fashion photographer Rankin next week – although there is no word yet on whether the album is her long-delayed LP Broke With Expensive Taste, or an entirely new album.
“HEAVY METAL AND REFLECTIVE” is out 7/29.
