The world’s endless appetite for female artists keeps on pushing new blood, this week with Brooklyn rapper Azealia Banks getting to the top of our chart with her debut in the loop ‘212’. Compared to Missy or Nicki Minaj, Azealia’s track boasts some personality of her own.
Among the new entries we find the latest from King Crule; Nicolas Jaar and the as yet unreleased duet between Amy Winehouse & Nas anticipating a new album of new and rare material by the late singer. Free mixtapes by A$ap Rocky and Freddie Gibbs are also featured.
