Azalea's first mixtape Ignorant Art, her debut music release, and the project generally credited as her career breakthrough, was released in September 2011 it was recorded in Los Angeles where Azalea had been residing since the previous year after migrating from Australia to the United States in 2006 when she was age 16 to pursue a rap career. She resigns herself to the fact that detractors will always claw at her success, and while that sting is hard to medicate, at first, time will heal it all.Iggy Azalea performing at the ACL Music Festival in October 2014Īustralian rapper Iggy Azalea recorded songs for two studio albums she is recording one studio album, one reissue, one extended play ( EP), and three mixtapes some of which were collaborations with other artist among other releases. From the song's generally cool demeanor to Iggy Azalea's heartfelt luminescence, the performance is as unforgettable as it is unfussy. "Don't Need Ya'll" witnesses the predominantly brash, hard-skinned rapper showcasing a more intimate, vulnerable side to her persona. "Don't Need Ya'll" (2014's The New Classic) "Let me feel myself / Yeah, daddy, know I'm cocky," she spits. "Kawasaki" is a smoldering chiller that doesn't skimp on the slickness and incisive tear-downs. With her first new project in nearly four years, Iggy Azelea goes for broke with her Survive the Summer EP, flipping lyrics, webbing darker production and spinning in the club as she downs shot after shot. "Kawasaki" (2018's Survive the Summer EP) "I should've known you were bad news / From the bad boy demeanor, and the tattoos," Azalea spits, setting up the storyline of lover gone awry. Bending big-soul blues with Azalea's classic hip-hop funk, you've got a perfect storm for one of 2014's most irresistible gems. We're sensing a trend here with bringing on a singer's singer for the very-melodic chorus, but that's OK, especially when you've got someone of Hudson's caliber giving a kiss of approval. Jennifer Hudson makes anything sound great. "Trouble," featuring Jennifer Hudston (2014's Reclassified) Iggy Azalea is a bit more mellow, her lyrics still biting, but there's something rather lethargic about the end result. But "Black Widow" is significantly darker in its lacy production, with Rita Ora's voice heavier in timbre and allowing the song to be even more grounded than its predecessor. "Black Widow," featuring Rita Ora (2014's The New Classic)įor some, "Black Widow" seemed too similar to "Fancy" to really get any traction.
