New York, NY – Azealia Banks has been causing some rukus in the music industry lately after she went on a social media rant saying she was done with the rap game and that she didn’t want a male manager anymore. I guess she’s staying cause she just released the second single called “Aquababe” off her mixtape Fantasea which drops July 4th and the second visual for a song off her debut EP 1991. I can’t even lie I love this chick; she’s only 21, and she raps, sings, dances and really doesn’t give AF what people think about her.

A few days ago Banks posted on Tumblr saying she was done with the rap game. From what I interpreted the media started to get under her skin. She said “i never was…and as soon as i started paying attention to bullshit urban media, i started getting myself in trouble. From now on i’m a vocalist, and will not be associating myself with the “rap game” … or whatever the f*ck that means…” She went on to state that she was done with Twitter (she has it back now) and would only be using Tumblr. In her defense and as a young artist it can’t be easy being in the public eye, constantly scrutinized. On top of this she’s been having management issues. Before her Twitter account was deleted she said “I really want a female manager. Women are just so much smarter. I just want a really hardcore woman…Or a really gay man as my manager…You other n***as have WAY too much ego sh*t with y’all.”

This track alone is just crazy but the visual makes it 10x better.

Natasha was born and raised in Toronto. She graduated from York University almost 2 years ago and since then has co-founded a youth led, social enterprise called The Next Edition which uses media and art to engage youth with their community. For the past year and a half she has been working with young aspiring artists who are looking for a way to showcase their skills and have their voice heard. With juggling weekly meetings, managing a website, and planning events for hundreds of people Natasha takes refuge in urban music. Researching and knowing the latest headlines, and newest tracks in the hip-hop world is something that she loves. But more importantly for her hip-hop is a lot more than just a genre of music, it is a culture and it has shaped who she is today. Finding a way to combine her passion for music, the knowledge she has gained from working with young people and the issues she has seen in the community is a goal Natasha would like to achieve in the near future. Recently, Natasha has taken on PR work for rappers and DJs.
