Azealia Banks has split from Prospect Park, Jeff Kwatinetz’s management company and label, with whom she worked for less than a year. The Harlem rapper tweeted the news yesterday night, announcing, “I’m leaving Prospect Park guys. AB is back on the market!” She continued: “I want to make a super duper pop record. Like Disney style, but clever.”

We believe she’s one of the most talented artists in the world and are very proud of the work we did on her behalf. We wish her all the best.”
