Australian hip hop recording artist, Iggy Azalea has been selected by MTV to be its International PUSH artist for the month of July.

MTV PUSH is MTV’s global promotional vehicle dedicated to bringing music fans around the world the latest talent. Using especially produced on-air video and online content, Iggy will be heavily promoted across all MTV’s international platforms, throughout the month of July.

Iggy Azalea quote – “It’s not often women in hip hop get recognition for their efforts and so I was very honoured to hear MTV will be recognising mine by selecting me for their push campaign. It’s an amazing platform to have and I am very grateful for it.”

Raised in the small New South Wales town of Mullumbimby, Azalea dreamt all her life of becoming a hip-hop recording artist and, at the tender age 16, she decided that moving to America was the only way to make her dream a reality. It wasn’t long before Iggy was causing a stir on the hip hop circuit, and 2011 saw the release of her first full length project, a mixtape called ‘Ignorant Ant’ which garnered mainstream attention with its impressive and raw statement. Since then, collaborations with everyone from southern rappers to EDM artists have followed as Iggy tried to nail down her sound, and her follow-up mixtape, TrapGold, indicated that she’d finally found her voice and place in the music industry. With critics and fans eagerly awaiting Azalea’s debut solo album and even more tours and festivals lined up, this year looks set to be even bigger for Iggy as she prepares to take the music industry by storm!

MTV PUSH has fostered some of today’s best known and hottest acts with previous artists including Carly Rae Jepsen, Rita Ora, LMFAO, Jessie J, Ke$ha, Justin Bieber, Lana Del Rey, A$AP Rocky and Bruno Mars.

Um that's very off topic. I would report you but I went to church yesterday so I'm still fresh with Jesus.

No one was named though and she does have her act together in terms of how she handles herself, her releases (singles, music videos, etc.), and so on when compared to many artists of any genre who are trying to promote and put out their debut album. I wish more of the new artists I listen to had everything together like she does. It has always been something I admire about her.
