American rapper Azealia Banks has released one studio album, one extended play (EP), one mixtape, 10 singles (including four as a featured artist), and two promotional singles. At age seventeen, in November 2008, 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". The following year, she released her debut music video for a song titled "L8R". Following her departure from XL Recordings, Banks dropped her stage name, opting to use her legal name, Azealia Banks.[1]

In September 2011, Banks self-released her debut single "212", which charted on the record charts of several countries including Australia, Ireland, and the United Kingdom.[3] The single was certified Gold by the British Phonographic Industry. In 2012, she signed a record deal with Interscope and Polydor to record her debut studio album.[4] During that time, she released her first EP titled 1991, which received favorable reviews from music critics.[5][6] It was further promoted by the single "Liquorice". As of November 2014, the EP has sold 35,000 copies in the United States.[7]

Banks self-released a free mixtape titled Fantasea in July 2012, which was subject to critical acclaim.[8][9] The mixtape was promoted by three music videos—"Luxury", "Atlantis", and "Fierce".[10] 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 received positive feedback from critics and peaked at number 30 on the US Billboard 200.[11] The album was preceded by three singles, "Yung Rapunxel", "Heavy Metal and Reflective" and "Chasing Time". In March 2015, a fourth single from the album, "Ice Princess", was released.
