Iggy's preparing for her forthcoming release, "In My Defense."

Australian rapper Iggy Azalea continues to storm through her unapologetic series of singles with her latest release titled "Started." Last December she inked a deal with EMPIRE and since then the "Fancy" rapper has been moving in stealth as she prepares for her forthcoming release. Her previous J. White-produced single "Sally Walker" will appear alongside "Started" on Iggy's long-awaited sophomore release, In My Defense.

The rapper revealed to iHeartRadio that J. White produced every album on her record. "We were fans of the same things and that made for a good connection, and he did every song. The whole thing is such a collaboration and it's made it, so, I don't know, it's just so sticky and gluey and all good in one thing, and that's what I love about it. So excited about it. It was the best time making it." She went on to say that as soon as her team heard "Started," they instantly knew it was a favorite...that is until she created "Freak of the Week." We'll just have to wait for that one.

Quotable Lyrics

Do you hate that you love me or do you love that you hate me?
All you bitches be bitin', I hope you don't give me rabies
You can say what you want about me as long as you pay me
I'm just tryna get them M's and I ain't talking some Shady
