Iggy Azalea is a hip hop outlier who rose through the ranks of urban music before breaking into the pop mainstream. She is a sassy blonde white Australian rapper with an odd Southern drawl who has become one of the most successful rappers in recent years. In 2014, she became the only artist to hold Nos. 1 and 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart at the same time, following in the footsteps of the Beatles. Her debut album, The New Classic, debuted at No. 3 that year, earning her four Grammy nominations. Before releasing the EP Survive the Summer in 2018, Azalea made headlines for reasons other than music, such as her high-profile relationships, Instagram twerking clips, and candid admissions of cosmetic surgery.
