Azealia Banks' brand new video is out; watch it here.

Potty mouthed rap vixen Azealia Banks  has had a tumultuous three years since she first blew up with the speaker shredding '212' in 2011, with record label drama, twitter beef and constantly put back release dates stunting her very clear and obvious talent.

Debut album Broke with Expensive Taste has been over two and a half years in the making, and is scheduled to finally see the light of day shortly with the single 'Heavy Metal and Reflective' now surfacing with a new video which you can watch above.

The video take space in the dessert with some motocross cyclists tying her up and screeching round the dunes in their bikes, whilst she slips the word bitch into her flow more times than even Jesse Pinkman can muster.

The track in itself places Banks' rapid fire raspy delivery over a beat produced by Lil Internet, the boardsman having previously worked with Azealia on 'Yung Rapunxel'.

It's part of a new trend in hip-hop where producers have raided the most unlikely of genres for inspiration; hardstyle. Yes, that is a donk that underpins this beat.

Banks hits the UK for three dates this September, with shows at the following venues:

Monday September 15th – O2 Academy, Glasgow, UK

Thursday September 18th –Manchester Academy, Manchester, UK

Friday September 19th – O2 Academy Brixton, London, UK
