This Monday, Azealia Banks released a new video from her Fantasea mixtape.

One of the tracks from that album, “Fierce,” was made into a fan video, featuring snippets from famed documentary Paris Is Burning.

Well, another version was recently released. This one is a promotional clip for the clothing/shopping site Asos. Unfortunately, this is technically only a bit of a teaser and doesn’t include the wonderful samples used in the original track – Jack & Jill’s “Fierce Talk.”

But we’ll be happy to listen/watch in any case.

Journalist, writer, blogger, producer.
