I normally try to find an edge or something different about artists and rappers I showcase as the Talent of the week; and once again I've succeeded. I bring to you an artist raised in Harlem, New York, Azealia Banks. Starting off first in the musical theater field Miss Banks soon left to fully pursue music at the age of 17 (oh and shes only 22 by the way).
I don't showcase Azaelia today because she's a woman in a predominately male driven business, nor do I show her because of her British accent despite living in NY. I give Miss Banks props simply for her I don't care attitude, remarks and lyrics. She is able to pull off the rude b**** persona while still being looked at with respect which is hard to do in today's world of music.
One of the first songs I heard from Harlem rapper was her Single "212" which showed that rap can go beyond that hardcore, gritty-beat, thugged-out image. I'm pretty sure you have a talent on you hands if guys who sag their pants can blast your pop-themed song with no regret. Or if they can make a hit song referring to "Liquorice".
