Last night, Azealia Banks played some unreleased material in a live Periscope stream. Among the things she previewed were selections from her upcoming sophomore album Business And Pleasure, which is supposed to come out after another mixtape (Fantasea II), and a track that she hinted was originally recorded for Rihanna. Watch the full Periscope here (skip around for the new songs, most of it is just talking), and hear the Rihanna snippet via Pitchfork below.

UPDATE:

@stereogum lol it wasn't rejected. I stopped showing up for the sessions. Her team is the worst lol
