American rapper Azealia Banks has released one studio album, one extended play (EP), two mixtapes and thirteen singles. At the age of seventeen in November 2008, Banks adopted the stage name Miss Bank$ and signed to XL Recordings.^[1] However, she ended the contract with the label quickly afterwards due to conflicting ideas.^[2] In 2009, Banks released several songs onto the internet for free download, including "Gimme a Chance" and "Seventeen". Following her departure from XL Recordings, Banks dropped her stage name, opting to use her legal name, Azealia Banks.^[1]

In September 2011, Banks self-released her debut single "212", which charted on the record charts of several countries including Australia, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. The single was certified Gold by the British Phonographic Industry. In 2012, she signed a record deal with Interscope and Polydor to record her debut studio album.^[3] During that time, she released her debut EP, titled 1991, which received favorable reviews from music critics. It was further promoted by the single "Liquorice". As of November 2014, the EP has sold 35,000 copies in the United States.

Banks self-released a free mixtape titled Fantasea in July 2012. In July 2014, Banks ended her contract with Interscope and Polydor, opting to sign to Prospect Park. In November of the same year, her debut studio album Broke with Expensive Taste was released. The album received positive feedback from critics and peaked at number 30 on the US Billboard 200. The album was preceded by three singles, "Yung Rapunxel", "Heavy Metal and Reflective" and "Chasing Time". In March 2015, a fourth single from the album, "Ice Princess", was released. As of 2016, Banks is working on three projects; her sophomore studio album, tentatively titled Business & Pleasure,^[4] a sequel to her 2012 mixtape titled Fantasea II: The Second Wave,^[5] and another mixtape titled Slay-Z. The lead single from Slay-Z, "The Big Big Beat", was released in February 2016, with the mixtape being released on March 24, 2016.
