Azealia Banks signs with 33 & West

by ROSTR
Azealia Banks signed with Dan Rozenblum of 33 & West for touring.
Azealia is Self-released & published by Sony Music Publishing.
Azealia Amanda Banks, born on May 31, 1991, is an American rapper, singer, and songwriter. Raised in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City, Banks became involved with theater and acting at a young age, and had roles in off-Broadway productions before transitioning to music.
Banks made her debut in the music industry with her single "212" in December 2011, which was met with an overwhelming response and became a top 10 hit. This success led to her signing a major record deal with Interscope. Her music is known for its innovative blend of hardcore hip-hop, indie pop, and dance music, and she has been praised for her ability to effortlessly blend genres.
However, Banks' career has been marked by numerous controversies and public feuds with other artists, which have often overshadowed her musical talent. She has been involved in disputes with artists such as Cardi B, Nicki Minaj, Iggy Azalea, and T.I., among others. These controversies, along with her outspoken social media presence, have led to her being blackballed from the music industry to some extent.
Despite these challenges, Banks' career has not been completely derailed. She has continued to perform and release music, and her 2012 track "Luxury" has gained popularity on TikTok. She has also made appearances at New York Fashion Week and performed at sold-out shows in New York City.
Banks' music and public persona continue to be a topic of discussion and debate, with some fans and critics separating her art from her controversial behavior. Regardless of the controversies surrounding her, there's no denying her impact and talent in the music industry.

Azealia Banks, Dan Rozenblum, 33 & West

Coming Soon: NIF & ROSTR GRAMMY Voter Guide
Nov 13, 2025
This year we're introducing the NIF & ROSTR GRAMMY Voter Guide. A fully interactive, digital-first, modern guide for GRAMMY voters (and industry observers).
🚫 No opinion, no fluff… no glossy photoshoots of the suits behind the scenes.
The guide covers all 95 categories, 497 nominations & 755 nominees and contributors. Everything is linked so voters can explore the awards, the nominations, the data, and the people credited – all in one place. We're even including media so people can actually, you know, listen to the nominations.
The guide will be supported by FYC ads, but we're doing it differently:
Category-exclusive FYC – if you buy a category, you’re the only FYC ad on that category’s pages. No clutter, no competing ads. Pricing sensitive to category prominence.
Context + intent – FYC ads run exactly where voters are comparing options in your category, not font-loaded on pages everyone flips past.
Non-intrusive + tasteful – Readers come first, because, if you want someone to see your ad, they need to actually be paying attention in the first place.
First come, first served – once a category’s sold, it’s sold.
