Azealia Banks is known to be bold and outspoken via her Twitter, her latest cover might be her boldest move – provocative. The cover pushes the boundaries so much so that it has already been banned from the newsstands in seven countries. On the cover of the publication’s September issue, Banks can be seen blowing up a pink condom. That’s that sh!t I do like! Tho. Dazed & Confused September 2012 issue is out now here.
Azealia Banks Seven Nation Banned Cover
New Music: Azealia Banks – “Chasing Time”
Video: Azealia Banks – “Heavy Metal And Reflective”
This reminds us strongly of Nicki Minaj's "Massive Attack" video with the desert surrounding and vague chase scenes. Azealia Banks does these things intentionally, placing herself in the hip-hop realm while rhyming at a crazy high-hat pace more fit for EDM. It's for the b-girls and the biker gangs. Check the video after the jump.
New Music: Azealia Banks – “Heavy Metal & Reflective”
Azealia arrives with her exact rhyme matches over electronic dance music. As she states, it's a cheeky style and only a morsel of what her extended mixes are. What a tease. Check the track after the jump.

The 2013 Governor’s Ball Music Festival had one of the craziest lineups of any Summer music festival. To call it epic would be an understatement. That is until a torrential downpour hit the tri-state area forcing much anticipated acts like Pretty Lights, Kings of Leon, and Erykah Badu to cancel their outdoor performances. Regardless, thousands of fans attended the weekend’s events and most of them left with an earful of dope music and clothes covered with mud. iHIpHop was on-hand to catch all of the weekend’s festivities including performances by Kanye West, Nas, Freddie Gibbs, Azaealia Banks, Animal Collective, Thievery Corporation and more.
