Azealia Banks Signs to Universal

[mp3] Azealia Banks: "212"

[mp3] Azealia Banks: "Runnin"

By far the most written about artist to watch in 2012, Azealia Banks, has inked a deal today with Universal Records. VIA Pitchfork:

"I want to do this thing-- and I don't even really know what the fuck 'this thing' is yet-- but considering how ambitious my ideas are musically, I definitely need a label that will really get it out there. I'm not really scared of major labels. I just want to work where I'm allowed to make mistakes and do my own thing rather than get into a situation where someone else has their own agenda of what they want me to be."
