"Yung Rapunxel" - The Harlem femme fatale lets you know she can command the mic and make you sweat to the music simultaneously as she rips, "Who’s cooler than this, witch/Maneuver then dip, hip like the ruger, this clip/B*****s zooted and sipped/I’m suited and zipped/Make a move or get skipped."(Photo: Sebastian Gabsch/Future Image/WENN.com)

Azealia Banks Gets Dropped - It's official! Azealia Banks has been released from her deal with Universal. The feisty rapper signed with Universal in 2012 after major independent buzz but she failed to produce a hit for the label, and they never released her intended debut, Broke With Expensive Taste. Banks seems happy about the decision as she tweeted, "Ugh, now I get to be the cool indie chick I imagined I would be when I was 14," followed by, "I'm gonna have a fresh start. I'm so excited." Hopefully she can stop beefing on Twitter long enough to really put some new music out.  (Photo: Sebastian Gabsch/Future Image/WENN.com)
