AceShowbiz - Azealia Banks' debut album, "Broke With Expensive Taste", is finally out. Months after splitting from record label Universal Music, the raptress surprise-released the LP on iTunes on Thursday, November 6. "Wait is over, get BROKE WITH EXPENSIVE TASTE now on @iTunesMusic," she alerted her followers on Twitter.
The album features 16 tracks including "Yung Rapunxel", "Heavy Metal and Reflective", "Chasing Time" and of course her breakthrough single "212". "ATM Jam", her collaboration with Pharrell Williams, doesn't make the cut to the collection.
"Broke With Expensive Taste" was first announced following the arrival of "212" in late 2011. It was initially planned to be released sometime in 2012 but kept getting pushed back. She publicly slammed Universal for the delays and she was subsequently dropped from the label last summer.
"IM ABOUT TO GET OUT OF MY DEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THATS THE BIG SURPRISE!!!! I'm feeling like miss celie at the end of color purple... Free at last," she tweeted when announcing her departure. "I'm gonna have a fresh start. I'm so excited!!!!"
