The Australian rapper dedicates new song “Heavy Crown” to “everyone who said I’d never make it.” She lets a hook from “Burn” siren Ellie Goulding warn listeners that the emcee is sticking to her guns, no matter how polarizing: “You can’t always please the crowd / but I’m still not bowing down… bitch, I got it now.” “Heavy Crown” won’t change the minds of anyone who’s already written off the rapper, but Iggy’s double-time rap over the militaristic march seems more at ease than the occasionally clunky verses on early singles. (See her [hate-it-or-love-it verse on “Work.”](http://youtu.be/%5FzR6ROjoOX0?t=1m22s "undefined")) Iggy critics have docked points for the way her rapping style can sound forced and over-studied, but “Heavy Crown” suggests she’s discovering how to not to be so stiff. In the year that saw “Fancy” stay No. 1 for seven weeks, she’s certainly earned the right to kick back and relax. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3597780/iggy-azalea-ellie-goulding-heavy-crown/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3597780/iggy-azalea-ellie-goulding-heavy-crown/"},"headline":"Iggy Azalea and Ellie Goulding Pay Haters No Mind on 'Heavy Crown'","datePublished":"2014-11-20T17:58:28.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T11:35:51.015Z","description":"The Aussie rapper and the \"Burn\" singer join forces","url":"https://time.com/3597780/iggy-azalea-ellie-goulding-heavy-crown/","keywords":["Music","Iggy Azalea"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt86db418b023941c6/69876a01f887dca7bde88811/iggy-azalea1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nolan Feeney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt86db418b023941c6/69876a01f887dca7bde88811/iggy-azalea1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Iggy Azalea","caption":"Iggy Azalea","creditText":"Todd Williamson—Invision/AP","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3597780/iggy-azalea-ellie-goulding-heavy-crown/","name":"Iggy Azalea and Ellie Goulding Pay Haters No Mind on 'Heavy Crown'"}}]}] ```
