Rap-Up.com || Azealia Banks Unleashes ‘Yung Rapunxel’ on First Single

“Miss Amor” is no more. Azealia Banks has decided to go in a different direction with the first single from her highly-anticipated debut.

Despite previous plans to release “Miss Amor” and the B-Side “Miss Camaraderie,” the Harlem rapper has announced that “Yung Rapunxel” will serve as the lead single off her Interscope debut Broke With Expensive Taste.

The song, produced by Lil Internet, will be released on February 12.

“BIG CHANGE OF PLANS,” tweeted Azealia. “My first single is actually not going 2 be Miss Amor / Miss Camaraderie. It’s goin 2 be a song called ‘YUNG RAPUNXEL’ prod. By @LILINTERNET.”

The album, due later this year, follows her 2012 mixtape Fantasea and EP 1991, which spawned the hit single “212.”

@zee zee, the real tension is because Nicki is whack, a total hype job and Azealia’s actually great at rapping and singing; so Nicki’s fans are terrified of Nicki being dethroned by an authentic superstar. If this wasn’t the case there’d be no tension.

I’m waiting for her to apologize to Lil’ Kim and Nicki Minaj.

@fasdfas, I dont think she owes an apology to Nicki Minaj because Nicki was trying to talk down to her and insult her and Azealia responded. But I do think an apology to Lil Kim would be great since Kim never really disrespected Azealia. But we all know Ms. Banks wont be doing that lol.

@DDdakid, Actually you’re wrong. Azealia Banks lied about Nicki wanting her to tour on twitter. Nicki just tweeted a lyric from her song ”Come on a Cone” and Azealia Banks thought it was to her.

@azebracuntnaj, That’s why Azealia blatantly took Nicki’s flow from Kill the DJ and used it in Liquorice. So where you going with originality. Nothing in this world is original anymore, everything has been inspired by something that come before and has been that was since long before we were born!

@Ice, but the producers with credibility are the ones that everyone is going to… azealia banks has a different sound, so why would she go to a over-used producer and sound like everyone else smh that’s whats wrong with music today people are so critical and can’t just acknowledge good music, its not your place as a fan to critique an artist, the lack of support behind bad music should be an artist hint to do something different, i wish people stop telling artist what they need to do when you don’t even know what you could do to be in their place

I have a feeling this year is going to be Azealia’s year and honestly im ready for a new female rapper to have success!!! Azealia has possible collaborations with big named artists like Kanye West, Beyonce, and Lady Gaga. She’s on the rise it’s no denying that. kinda reminds me of the same way Nicki was on everybody’s joint when she was trying to make her mark. Its okay to embrace another female. GO AZEALIA!!!

To tell ya’ll the truth Azealia Banks is the only female rapper ive been routing for and music I follow(and im a black girl). 1991 and Fantasea slays its original, catchy, and the bitch can rap. I’m hoping on the album her lyrics has more range. Im defiantly buying her album.

@LovableBunny, Trina is a veteran and has had success its not like she’s coming for Nicki’s spot she’s had Nicki’s spot, and Iggy is in Nicki’s lane cruising a few cars behind her so Nicki’s not worried about Iggy surpassing her… but Azealia on the other hand is making her name known creating her own lane and making moves so of course that should make Nicki’s fans nervous but i’m sure Nicki isn’t worried about it because she’s making moves too i wish people would recognize that there can be more than one successful female rapper at a time
