Buzzing in industry circles on both sides of the Atlantic for the past year, Australian-born Iggy Azalea –
the stunning 22-year-old hip-hop artist – has been the
highly-sought-after object of several bidding wars and a fierce
competition between labels vying for the talents of this beautiful young
star. Island Records president David Massey has announced Iggy Azalea has signed exclusively to Island Records in the U.S.
The signing comes as Iggy’s debut single “Work” (video NSFW due to salty language)–
an autobiographical tale of a young girl with “no money, no family, 16
in the middle of Miami,” who lands stateside with barely a dollar and a
dream - is rocketing up the charts in the U.K. The track has been
A-listed at Radio 1 and has broken into the Top 15 at iTunes.
