Azealia Banks has announced via Twitter she will be leaking her much-delayed debut, Broke With Expensive Taste, from April 15 - one day before its last confirmed release date.

The New York rapper seems to finally have lost patience with label Universal after numerous release dates for the record were announced then changed. Broke With Expensive Taste was originally supposed to be released almost two years ago (!) in September 2012, but fans are still waiting.

Now, Banks has tweeted saying she will be leaking the album from April 15 - in similar style to her foe, Angel Haze, who leaked her debut Dirty Gold in December 2013. 

The news comes after Banks' UK tour dates were postponed from September 2014 to December 2014 - not exactly a good sign. The shows were supposed to be in support of Broke With Expensive Taste, which was last confirmed to be released April 16. 

The 'ATM Jam' star previously expressed frustrations at label Universal in January, revealing to fans she was "begging to be dropped" by the label. "I'm really in hell here...my fans really need some new music," she wrote on Twitter.

The rapper burst onto the scene in 2011 with '212', which was a major success, topping the charts and building a massive amount of hype around Banks. The critically acclaimed 1991 EP followed, then mixtape Fantasea.

Unfortunately, it all started to go wrong after the announcement of the rapper's debut album. Lead single 'Yung Rapunxel' bombed, as did 'ATM Jam', despite production credits from Pharrell. 

We hope Azealia's luck changes soon...
