Angel Haze laid down intense and powerful lyrics.

Imagine if Nikki Minaj and Azaelia Banks had a child.  Now, replace the meaningless babble and superfluous profanity with a New York attidude and personal lyrics.  This is Angel Haze.

Although she is a newcomer to the rap game, Haze is redefining what it means to be a female emcee.  She is strong and bold. Despite being only 21 years old,  Haze raps with wisdom beyond her years.

Haze’s life has not by any means been easy.  After stints on the streets of New York City moving shelter to shelter, Haze gained major notariety being named third on the BBC’s Sound of 2013 music poll.

Haze has several mixtapes, but only one EP of four songs.  However, each song has a style, swagger and undeniable level of talent that proves Haze will not be going anywhere, but up from here.
