Azealia Banks returned to Twitter on Thursday to announce the release of her Slay-Z mixtape.

Featuring Rick Ross and Nina Sky, the eight-track collection is arriving perhaps earlier than expected, as Banks explained she was forced to release the mixtape because her former engineer had been leaking some of the songs.

Slay-Z, which features the explosive previously released track "The Big Big Beat," can be downloaded here for free.
