Azealia Banks introduced the world to her Spanish rapping skills on "Gimme a Chance" from her 2015 album Broke with Expensive Taste, and brings her bilingual talents back on her new song "Nirvana." While "Gimme a Chance" was a messy-yet-impressive genre-ambiguous tune, "Nirvana" is a straightforward banger with bruising bass and a string-driven melody perfect for the era of Pop Smoke. Check it out below. According to Banks, the song represents the debut of "La Aracely," her new "Spanish artist name."

"Nirvana" is the first piece of new music since September 2019, when Banks shared her mixtape Yung Rapunxel: Pt. II. Hopefully this means more music and less beef.
