"212" is the debut single by the American rapper Azealia Banks. It was written by Banks and Lazy Jay—the alias of Belgian disc jockey Jef Martens and his brother Toon. Lazy Jay also produced the track. "212" was released on December 6, 2011, as the lead single for Banks' debut extended play, 1991 (2012); it was included as an album track on her debut studio album, Broke with Expensive Taste (2014). Built around Lazy Jay's track "Float My Boat", it has been described as a hip house, electro house, Dutch house, hardcore hip-hop and dance rap track. "212" reflects Banks' adolescence in Harlem, New York, and features her rapping about cunnilingus.
