If you haven't already heard of Azealia Banks, you obviously don't read RefinedHype religiously will soon. As Interscope's next "new hot thing" the recently signed Banks is now getting put in the studio with some of the game's biggest producers, including Diplo for her new single "F**k the Fun Up".
