Jumanji

Yes, it's an underrated Robin Wiliams movie, but no, that's not the purpose of this post. Instead, it's also the title of the follow-up single (to the fantastic "212") released by upcoming rap sensation Azealia Banks.

Although it isn't featured on her debut EP, which was released today, "Jumanji" is a really well-done display of Banks' talent, which I would only expect at this point in her career. Starting with an almost ethereal harp string intro and leading in to a youthful, MIA-reminiscent beat, she is never fearful of where she's going: "Real bitch, all day, Uptown, Broadway," she chants in the chorus.

It's definitely giving her all the more reason to get massive attention and her ability to successfull string together verses, regardless of their sense: "That can and can and continue/Your anti-nanas and cameras," yeah, me neither. Even still, the song has been stuck in my head since it's first listen and it's definitely worth at least a run-through.

I am absolutely obsessed with the track '212' by newcomer Azealia Banks. Banks has recently been featured on the Scissor Sister's new track, 'Shady Love.' Well, I decided that this one needed to have some sort of mention. Banks spits the rap just as hard as Nicki Minaj and also has the same amount of courage as Nicki. Plus, her skills are reinforced in her collaboration with Lunice on 'Runnin,' where her flow leads me to as "Nicki who?" Needless to say, I'm obsessed.
