Azalea's debut studio album, The New Classic (2014), peaked among the top five on several charts worldwide, but received mixed reviews from within the industry. The album eventually topped the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, making Azalea the first non-American female rapper to reach the top of the chart. The New Classic was preceded by Azalea's debut single "Work" and chart-topping single "Fancy" (featuring Charli XCX), which hit the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Azalea was featured on Ariana Grande's 2014 single "Problem", which peaked at number two behind "Fancy". With these hits, Azalea became the second musical act (behind The Beatles) act to rank at number one and two simultaneously on the Hot 100 with their debut appearances on the chart. In addition, she achieved three top ten hits simultaneously on the Hot 100 with the aforementioned songs and the album's fifth single, "Black Widow" (featuring Rita Ora), which debuted later that year.
After her debut album, Azalea released a slew of singles to build anticipation for her intended second album, Digital Distortion. However, a series of conflicts with her label, as well as personal conflicts, resulted in the project being cancelled. Consequently, Azalea switched labels, releasing the EP Survive the Summer (2018) under Island Records. Further disagreements led to Azalea becoming an independent artist and creating her own label, Bad Dreams, through a distribution deal with Empire. Her second album, In My Defense, was released in 2019, followed by another EP, Wicked Lips, that same year. Before taking a hiatus from music, Azalea released her third studio album, The End of an Era, in August 2021.
Azalea's accolades include two American Music Awards, three Billboard Music Awards, an MTV Video Music Award, a People's Choice Award, four Teen Choice Awards and four Grammy Award nominations. Azalea's official YouTube channel has accumulated more than 3.4 billion views, with 15 music videos receiving over 100 million views on Vevo.

Iggy Azalea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Neck cold, gimme frostbite
Tattoo EverBlack, sweatsuit and it's Off-White
Clearport, 'bout to hop flight
Talk shit like you a raw bitch, you cannot fight
Big bag got 'em big mad
New whip, blue smoke, watch me zig-zag
Hold up, big gas give 'em whiplash
I sold fifty million records on you bitch-ass hoes, I'm well off
Whispers from the ground, I heard I fell off
Landed on top of the world
I sped off in somethin' that cost more than your life
Real boss, my car just ignore any price
Troll for the likes, no control on the mic
I'm a pro, let 'em know when I rollin' the dice
Toes dipped in ice and your throat gettin' sliced
For any bitch who wanna disrespect Iggy Iggs
Extra
Ten chains and and rings 'cause I'm extra
Ran out of drink, I got extra
You wanna hang, pay me extra
Lames out my section, yeah, bitch, I'm extra
See through the fakes, I can't text ya
Leak nudes and end world depression
Big jewels bigger than Texas
Rich like I robbed a bank
Pull up driveway and my house is big
Watch on each arm, you know what time it is
Keep a chef on my left, make the rice on the right
Got a plate full of steak, aight? Aight
How much it cost, does it hurt to ask?
Keep a Birkin bag, get my Birkin bag
And it hurt to laugh 'cause my stomach full
I get wined and dined, I got shine on shine
Keep a chain on chain, scroll through my contacts
I got names on names that could change your life
And it's rare in this game to sustain the hype
And I'll buy another pair if I stain the Nikes
Around a bum, never hang, it could drain your light
Overcame everything 'cause I paid the price
On a stage out in Spain with my face on a train
Wouldn't trade with a lame, you can save advice
Extra
Ten chains and and rings 'cause I'm extra
Ran out of drink, I got extra
You wanna hang, pay me extra
Lames out my section, yeah, bitch, I'm extra
See through the fakes, I can't text ya
Leak nudes and end world depression
Big jewels bigger than Texas
Rich like I robbed a bank
