Hip hop upstart Azealia Banks has been on the national radar for over a year now, and the Harlemite is prepping her long-awaited debut Broke With Expensive Taste for an early 2013 release. Banks explained to Beat TV that she isn't preoccupied with genre and styles on her first studio album--she's focused on her own voice being as real as possible.

"The vision and vibe that I have for Broke With Expensive Taste is just for it to be stylish and authentic like anything I do," she explained.

"There isn't a genre I'm trying to go for or a specific vibe that I'm trying to go for," Banks shared. "I'm going for authenticity."
