Azealia Banks has announced the first single off her upcoming debut album, a track named after her Twitter username.
The New York rapper took to the social network to refute claims that ‘Miss Amor/Miss Camaraderie’ will be her first stand-alone offering, instead stating that a number called ‘Yung Rapunxel’ will be the lead instead.
Banks wrote:
