The new classic

Description

Originally a model, Iggy Azalea turned to rap and made a splash on YouTube with devastatingly sensual videos. A rapper since the age of 14, this Australian quickly left her native island (at 16), heading to Miami to try her luck in Uncle Sam’s country. Her first two videos posted on YouTube went viral, with views climbing to 10 million. Even rapper T.I noticed her and wanted to work with her on her first album. The musical adventure began, and she released her first song, Work, in April 2013. A huge hit on YouTube, the track has since racked up 50 million views in less than 9 months. The rest followed the same pattern. Bounce, Change your life as a duet with T.I, and Leave it followed and were also successes.
