American rapper Azealia Banks has released one studio album, one extended play, one mixtape, ten singles (including three as a featured artist) and nineteen music videos. In November 2008, when she was seventeen, Banks adopted the stage name Miss Bank$ and signed to XL Recordings.[1] However, she ended the contract with the label quickly afterwards due to conflicting ideas.[2] In 2009, she released several songs onto the Internet including "Gimme a Chance" and "Seventeen". A year later, she released her debut music video, a visual for a song titled "L8R".

Following the departure from XL Recordings, Banks officially adopted the present-day name Azealia Banks.[1] In September 2011, she self-released her debut single "212", which charted on the record charts of several countries including Australia, Ireland, and the United Kingdom.[3][4][5][6] The single was certified Gold by the British Phonographic Industry.[7] In 2012, she signed a record deal with Interscope and Polydor Records to record her first studio album.[8] During which time, she released her first EP titled 1991, which received favorable reviews from music critics.[9][10] It was further promoted by the single "Liquorice".[11] The EP has sold 35,000 copies in the United States.[12]

In July 2012, Banks self-released a free mixtape titled Fantasea, which was subject to critical acclaim.[13][14] The mixtape was promoted by three music videos—"Luxury", "Atlantis", and "Fierce".[15][16][17] In July 2014, Banks ended the contract with Interscope/Polydor and signed to Prospect Park. In November of that year, her debut studio album, Broke with Expensive Taste, was released; the album which spawned three singles: "Yung Rapunxel", "Heavy Metal and Reflective", and "Chasing Time". A song from the record titled "Ice Princess" gained some popularity, peaking at number 41 on the Billboard Twitter Real-Time chart. The album itself received positive feedback from critics and peaked at number 30 on the US Billboard 200.[18][19]
