Keeping track of new music, media and industry news.

Azealia Banks topped the NME Cool List 2011 this week.

Since being seen in 2010 in the Nike 1Love video of Harlem, and alongside Thom Yorke and Buraka Som Sistema in Major Lazers’ “Lazers Never Die” the La Guardia trained 20 year old has caught the attention of a lot of industry types. She is now working on new tracks with Florence and The Machine, Friendly Fires and Plan B’s producer Paul Epworth.

She sometimes goes under the name Miss Banks so you may find other stuff out there but we have included to stream Machinedrum’s remix of her track ‘P-U-S-S-Y’ featuring 77KLASH. You can also view her club pleaser 212, which is an incredibly song! Most of her tracks seem to be well, erm quite rude shall we say.

A UK tour is planned in February.
