"'The Toilet Papers' seems to mimic Stimuli's actual rhyme writing style. His music is notoriously self-aware - often dissecting precisely why, in his opinion, his career has yet to hit mainstream."

Another slice of high BPM warped club beats and stream of conciousness rhymes from Azealia Banks.

While everything lately seems to be "cray," this artful visual almost brings the term back to its root. Almost.

The Brooklyn, New York rapper pushes back his album to later this month.

Gucci sounds like he belongs on this song, even though it's like 30 seconds.
