Hip Hop’s ever changing mores were taken a
step further last September when fiery Disney princess-like character, Azealia
Banks rocketed charts worldwide. Yet her self-given nicknames ‘Yung Rapunzel’
and ‘Bambi’ are a distant fairy-tale truth in comparison to her playfully crude
wordplay and aggressive hip-hop spits. Judging the thriving crowd at
Birmingham’s HMV tonight- this is exactly why they adore her.
Zebra Kat’z
attentive presence teamed with Njena Reddd Foxxx’s sassy swag, breezily vamp up
the crowd with a humorous and somewhat raunchy performance. Exotic gymnastic
moves, catwalk mimics and mouthfuls of colourful language, the fierce New York
rappers successfully finish their set with notable single 'Ima Read’. DJ Cosmo
presents a vibrant half-hour set until the Harlem rapper takes to her stage.
Bouncing from track to track sporting her million
dollar smile and Swarovski glowing bra, Banks thrust’s herself into a
throttling flow that seemingly paces at a hundred miles per hour. The compressed
40-minute show switches from Fantasea mixtape and 1991 EP, highlighting Liquorice, Esta Noche and 1991 itself as crowd favourites.
‘This
song may be the reason you all came out tonight’. Sparing no time, the crowd
are launched into a sky-high frenzy as breakthrough single ‘212’ begins and
fans thrillingly grasp the opportunity to chant the most offensive yet
enjoyable lyrics in music so far.
