Iggy Iggz, "The New Classic"


So you're asking, who is this young, blonde rapper from Australia who just made her way onto the music scene, never hearing of her and having one huge chart topping hit while being featured in another?  This woman is Amethyst Amelia Kelly better known by her stage name Iggy Azalea.  She's a 23-year-old Aussie native that was picked up by rapper T.I. back in 2011.  She started to make a name for herself with the song "Murda Bizness" and three mixtapes where she featured artists such as T.I, Mike Posner and YG.  From then on, her career went upwards.  She slowly rose to fame and finally in 2014 put out her full-length debut, "The New Classic".  It's one great listen, bringing in her old sounds of hard rap on "Change Your Life (feat. T.I.)" and "Impossible is Nothing" and also uses pop-dance synths to appeal to a different audience with "Fancy (feat. Charli XCX)", "Bounce", and "Work".  Shame on you if you haven't heard this and shame on me for not posting this sooner.
