Background and release

In October 2015, Azalea announced the title of her second album, Digital Distortion, which would be released in the following year, with a buzz track titled "Zillion" and the project's lead single premiering before its release.[1][2] In December, during a Twitter Q&A with fans, she revealed that the lead single would be titled "Team." During that month, she also shared snippets of both "Team" and "Zillion", along with another track titled "7teen," via Twitter, stating that "content, buzz songs, viral videos and other cool stuff" would debut in January 2016.[3][4][5][6][7] On 9 January 2016, "Azillion" was released on her SoundCloud page.[8] Azalea has stated "Azillion" won't be an official single from her upcoming album, but rather a preview of what is to come on her record.[9]

Reception

Complex's editor Edwin Ortiz wrote: "The production on "Azillion" leans electronic, and Iggy delivers her signature flow and digestible lyricism about stuntin' on the competition".[9] Mitchell Peters of Billboard commented the "club-ready" track was full of pounding synths mixed with "dizzying" trap beats.[10] Writing for The Fader, Jeff Ihaza noted "the song finds Azalea rapping over far more boisterous, stadium-ready production than on her 2014 debut".[11] For Rap-Up, "Iggy brings the girl power and attitude on the pulsing electro banger."[12]
