Azealia Banks Releases Debut Album 'Broke With Expensive Taste'
Azealia Banks has a big surprise in store for her fans. The Harlem rapper plans to release her long-awaited debut Broke With Expensive Taste as soon as this week.
The cover and tracklisting leaked to Spotify with a November 7 release date. The 16 tracks include her breakout hit “212” and “Heavy Metal and Reflective,” plus material from her 2012 mixtape Fantasea. The only two featured guests are Lazy Jay and Theophilus London, who appears on “JFK.”
