Mixtape: TrapGold
\nArtist: Iggy Azalea
\nReleased: October 11, 2012<\/p>\n

The First Lady of the Grand Hustle team , Iggy Azalea<\/strong> is back with her latest mixtape offering TrapGold<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The 1stDown (FKi) and Diplo produced 11-track project, continues to shine light to the Australian rapstress\u2019 electronic-hip hop sound that we first heard on her \u201cMy World\u201d<\/em> single in 2011. <\/p>\n

TrapGold<\/strong> includes the standout single \u201cBack To the Future (My Time)\u201d<\/em> which receives a bit of production help from the notable Tiesto<\/strong>. Iggy<\/strong> manages to keep her grimy, southern-trap indulged rhyming steez throughout the whole project. <\/p>\n

\u201cYo El Ray\u201d<\/em> showcases Iggy taking full control over a Diplo<\/strong>, BroSafari<\/strong>, and FKi<\/strong> beat that goes hard every time she repeats \u201cDiplo, Diplo, Diplo, Diplo\u201d on the hook. \u201cDown South\u201d<\/em> is reminiscent of her breakout viral sensation \u201cPU$$Y\u201d<\/em> (off Ignorant Art), creating a fun and raunchy anthem for the ladies. Iggy<\/strong> uses a minor break from all the hyped up production, midway through the project, as she slows it down on \u201cSLO.\u201d<\/em>, where she speaks on conflicting emotions over love and reminisces on a failed relationship. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I call sometimes I wish you\u2019d pick up
\nBut most days the call is declined. It\u2019s okay, I don\u2019t give a fuck.
\nYou outta sight, so you outta mind
\nI’m doing alright, No I\u2019ma be fine
\nI gotta few candidates standing in line
\nBroke up before but it wasn\u2019t like this
\nGot many regrets, I wish I could rewind
\nDamn. We both got our lives so it’s no surprise
\nThe Schedules conflict and we can\u2019t coincide
\nMy heart’s cold, feels like I got no insides
\nWe rushed it to the finish line, we should have took our time
\n\u2026If I could try this shit again? Real shit I’d probably do it
\nThat’s why it’s hard to act like you someone I’m really through with\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

( Sounds like this could be an open letter to her speculated romance with Harlem rapper, A$AP Rocky?)<\/p>\n

TrapGold<\/strong> boasts merely one feature on \u201cFlexin\u2019 and Finnessin\u201d<\/em> in where, Three 6 Mafia rapper, Juicy J<\/strong> gives that extra touch that aids in making this track the highlight of the entire mixtape. <\/p>\n

Iggy Azalea\u2019s<\/strong> TrapGold<\/a> is a well balanced project between today\u2019s electro-house inspired and rap saturated music which continues to commercially dominate. The Grand Hustle rapstress\u2019 debut album The New Classic<\/strong> still rests without a release date, but in the meantime the Australian rhyme sayer keeps her \u2018Azaleans\u2019 satisfied with TrapGold. Make sure you cop it!<\/p>\n
