Occasionally-embarrassing-but-talented-enough-that-we’ll-give-her-a-pass feud-happy rapstress Azealia Banks has had what seems like an endless string of singles and videos — starting with the blistering “212” — so it’s startling to hear her talk about a first single now. But indeed, that’s what she’s prepping in anticipation of her debut album Broke With Expensive Taste, having already released the 1991 EP and her Fantasea mixtape. The femcee announced via Twitter that the first single from her LP will be titled “Yung Rapunxel” (which is what Banks calls herself, so go figure) and will premiere February 12.

The track is produced by mysterious seapunk engineer Lil Internet and will probably be about how Angel Haze sucks. See Banks’ tweets after the jump.
