Listen: Azealia Banks rings in the New Year with ‘BBD’

It’s crunch-time for Azealia Banks’ album promotion cycle behind her forthcoming full-length, and to bring in the new year and the new set is fresh “BBD.”

While the rapper does name check the original BBD — Bel Biv Devoe — she’s coining the abbreviation for Bad B*tches Do It with this upbeat track. Her raps are mixed low, letting the marching production take the front, and that at least sounds good. She’s got ADHD more than BBD here, but it’s arrived at a time where she’s just looking to whet whistles.

“BBD” will be featured on Interscope debut “Broke with Expensive Taste,” due Feb. 13, right around Grammys. You think she’s ready for primetime and, if so, will she be at the show?
