Azealia Banks’ long-awaited debut album finally surfaces

Surprise! Azealia Banks’ long-delayed album is out.

After years of shifting release dates, label drama, stalled singles and tons of trash talking on Twitter, Banks’ highly anticipated debut, “Broke With Expensive Taste,” has arrived -- with little warning.

The Harlem spitfire surprised fans on Thursday by releasing the album through iTunes.

“Voila!!!! Here it is ...” the rapper tweeted, with a link to the album.

While the release seemingly came out of nowhere, clues that Banks was planning on “pulling a Beyonce” — coined to describe the pop diva’s surprise release last year — started earlier in the week.

First, the outspoken rapper changed her social media profiles with a black image and seemingly visible hashtag for the album and asked her fan base (their name is unprintable) if they wanted to “see a magic trick?” The cryptic photo turned out to be a chunk of the album’s artwork.

Adding to the suspense: The album’s cover and full track list were caught on Spotify by an eagle-eyed fan. The listing has since been taken down and the album is currently only available on iTunes.

The album, “Broke With Expensive Taste,” was originally slated to be released in September 2012 but was pushed back numerous times. The album’s lead single, “Yung Rapunxel,” didn’t quite catch on with the masses, nor did its Pharrell Williams-produced follow-up, “ATM Jam.”

Williams became the subject of one of Banks’ infamous Twitter rants, in which she blamed the hitmaker for contributing to the song’s poor performance by opting to not be in the video.

Earlier this year Banks revealed she was unhappy with her deal from Universal’s Interscope and was hoping, actually pleading, to be released. Over the summer she proclaimed herself “free at last” from the label.

She issued the album’s second single, “Heavy Metal and Reflective,” independently through her own Azealia Banks Records. The album is also released through her imprint and Prospect Park.

The 16-track album features her breakout “212,” along with previous singles “Heavy Metal and Reflective” and recently released house track “Chasing Time.”
