It took a while but she got there, Azealia Banks has finally released her first album.

"Broke With Expensive Taste" was supposed to be released in March 2014, the last in a long line of release dates that got pushed back which started not long after she released breahthrough track 212 at the end of 2011.

Banks shared the artwork for the LP on Instagram earlier today, and the record is now available on iTunes.

It seems record label troubles played a big part in the delay, with the singer finally being released by Interscope in July.
