Azealia Banks is taking a break from Twitter and posing in Playboy to actually release something music-related. Today (March 31), the controversial New York rapper released the visual for her latest Broke With Expensive Taste single "Ice Princess," and in it, she's playing some sort of animated Medusa, ice human, robot hybrid and leading an army into eventual death.

The concept for "Ice Princess" seems simple enough. Armed with snakes on her head and ice in her eyelashes, Banks is on the front of an army filled with robots. She gnashes her teeth, snarls at whatever enemy she's facing and gives an intense and purposefully strong walk among her troops.

Then, in the most badass moment of the video, she SAILS THROUGH THE SKY ON A MASSIVE SNAKE. This is not a drill, nor is it Snakes on a Plane.

Eventually, Banks and her army go to war (maybe?) against something (possibly?) and after some perfectly timed jumping, she actually ends up falling to her death in a massive volcano.

The video is meant to be intense, and Banks totally sells the pissed off Medusa thing. In a more conceptual leap that her previous Broke with Expensive Taste cut "Heavy Metal and Reflective," Banks is pushing the envelope. Just too bad the animation is so crappy.
