Azealia Banks, a name we don’t hear from a lot, just dropped a video for a song she put out four years ago. She is a rapper and singer from Harlem who got big from her single in 2011, “212” featuring Lazy Jay. Since her big blow up she has ruined her name by getting into pointless fights, which takes away from her talent as a rapper. Even though a lot of people don’t necessarily support her anymore she will have a place in my heart.
She just released her video for “SODA” a track that was on her 2014 release Broke With Expensive Taste. I hope the five-year wait was worth it!
Check out the video here:
Banks has always been great at giving amazing visuals for her songs. She is shown in a beautiful yellow dress walking through the desert with a black strip around her eyes to show that she can see but she still has a mask on. The best part of this song happens at the end of the song during the chorus variation as she sings,
I’m trying to hide behind tired eyes, I sigh
I’m tired of trying to try not to cry and
I say soda soda, I’m a high rolla- yo sir
I pose for the poster- Yep!
Icy Cola Coke-a, Sprite I love the most-a!
I ride rollercoasters, I try all the cultures
A smile, a guise
Nighttime is mine, and my eyes are wide at night
She plans to be releasing her Fantasea 2 project, which is reportedly coming in early summer.
