1991, the debut EP from Harlem rapper Azealia Banks, came out on Polydor in the UK on May 28, 2012, and on Interscope in America a day later. It arrived trailing "212", the house-thumping single that had been out since December 2011 and would become one of the defining songs of the decade, later landing on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest songs of all time.

The rest of the EP proves she wasn't a one-hit wonder in waiting: with Machinedrum, Lone and Basto on the boards, Banks raps and sings over hip house built for the dance floor, and she made a video for every track, including the title song and "Van Vogue". "Liquorice" followed as a single that December. Reviews were positive, and the EP topped Billboard's Heatseekers chart.
