“They’ll forget your name soon,” Azealia Banks warns haters in her breakout Internet smash, “212.” Banks herself shouldn’t worry about fading from pop-culture memory anytime soon. The 20-year-old New Yorker has proven to be one of music’s most intriguing new shape-shifters since she started posting songs and videos online a few years ago. Fast-forward to today, and her cheeky black-and-white video for “212” has amassed more than three million-plus.
She’s already collaborated with Paul Epworth—hitmaker for the likes of Adele and Florence + the Machine—and signed a major-label deal with Universal, which will release her debut album this fall. Karl Lagerfeld even invited her to perform at his home in Paris at a gala celebrating the launch of his new line, Karl. It’s all been quite a journey for Banks, whose current jet-set lifestyle belies her hardscrabble beginnings: Her father died when she was 2, and she was raised in Harlem by her mother.
