[Watch] Azealia Banks - "Van Vogue" (Official Video)

Azealia Banks has once again teamed up with director Rankin—the two previously worked together on the video for "Liquorice"—delivering a rousing visualization of the Harlem beauty's track "Van Vogue", which was included on Banks' 1991 EP. The video focuses on Banks herself, quickly cutting between various shots of Young Rapunzel and her various outfits and styles. If anything, the video sure as hell shows off Banks' involvement in the fashion industry. Nicola Formichetti has definitely made a muse out of her. Watch the replay above.

In other Azealia Banks news, she recently teamed up with AraabMUZIK on a track called "Succubi", which you can stream below. The song is apparently a beef aimed at Jim Jones, which started over the use of the term "vamp". It's a pretty fucking stupid reason to start beef, but then again the rap world has been known for pointless disses and feuds. Check out the full story over at MTV.
