Quotes

  • You used to dealing with basic bitches,Basic shit all the time.I'm a new classic, upgrade your statusFrom a standby to a frequent flyer.
  • I'm so fancy,You already know.I'm in the fast lane,From L.A. to Tokyo.I'm so fancy,Can't you taste this gold?Remember my name, 'bout to blow.
  • Walk a mile in these Louboutins,But they don't wear these shits where I'm from.I'm not hating, I'm just telling you.I'm tryna let you know what the fuck that I've been through.
  • Let ya hair down and shake that shit, shake that shit, shake that shit.Sweat it out, go nuts in this bitch.Dip it, spin it, and watchin' my hips;I see you watchin' my hips.

Encyclopedic overview

Amethyst Amelia Kelly (born 7 June 1990), known professionally as Iggy Azalea (/əˈzeɪliə/ ə-ZAY-lee-ə), is an Australian former rapper and songwriter. Born in Sydney, Azalea moved to the United States at the age of 16 to pursue a career in music. She earned public recognition after releasing the music videos for her songs "Pussy" and "Two Times" on YouTube. Shortly after releasing those two songs, she released her debut mixtape, Ignorant Art (2011), and subsequently signed a recording contract with American rapper T.I.'s Grand Hustle label.

Azalea's debut studio album, The New Classic (2014), peaked among the top five on several charts worldwide and eventually topped the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, making Azalea the first non-American female rapper to reach the top of the chart. The New Classic was preceded by Azalea's debut single "Work" and chart-topping single "Fancy" (featuring Charli XCX), which hit the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and received a nomination for the Grammy Award for Record of the Year. Azalea was featured on Ariana Grande's 2014 single "Problem", which peaked at number two behind "Fancy". With these hits, Azalea became the second musical act (aside from the Beatles) to rank at number one and number two simultaneously on the Hot 100 with their debut releases on the chart. In addition, she achieved three top ten hits simultaneously on the Hot 100 with the aforementioned songs and the album's fifth single, "Black Widow" (featuring Rita Ora), which debuted later that year.
