Earlier this year the NYC rapper dropped her 'Reservation' LP containing the brilliant 'Werkin' Girls' with it's tribal beat and jaw dropping flow. The video was released a few weeks ago and showcases Haze's at her most fearsome spitting lines like YOUR life [...]

Now that she's successfully put most of the Internet world on pause with stunning confessional "Cleaning Out My Closet" , rapper-singer Angel Haze continues to make a breakout 2013 seem like the most inevitable thing ever with the release of her latest project Classick , a six-cut freebie mixtape that finds her beat-jacking greats like Jay-Z ("Song Cry") and Erykah Badu (a silken R&B turn on "Love of My Life"). Aside from the aforementioned Track-of-the-Year-worthy "Closet", it's hearing Haze's nods to two big hits of Female Rap Past that [...]
Back in July, young rap upstart Angel Haze released Reservation , a collection of fourteen songs that showcase Angel's prowess as a fast-spitting, high-energy MC. Among those tracks is "Werkin' Girls," which was recently given video treatment. Above, you can watch its accompanying visuals by way of her YouTube channel. "Werkin' Girls," despite its danceable nature and playful title, is somewhat menacing. Banging percussion and sinister, distorted synth hits make for a disorienting instrumental, and Angel's lightning quick flow is as intimidating as it is engaging. Juxtaposing a series of odd characters, which [...]

Angel Haze "New York" Angel Haze has quite the pre-recording routine, reminds me of what I do before sitting down to write an article for DHM. But seriously... creepy fucking video.

Sorry Azealia - I think we've found our new queen bee of the 212 . Although hailing from Detroit, Angel Haze 's Gil Scott-Heron -sampling "New York" , off her recently released debut mixtape Reservation , proves that the rapper is the most impressive female MC in the game: she's got a more rapid flow than Nicki Minaj , is so badass that she makes Azealia Banks look like a Barbie [...]

Angel Haze - Reservation By Russell Warfield A guessing game for those of you who have seen the menacing little trailer for Reservation which was put on YouTube in advance of the album’s release: what immediately recognisable sample do you think Angel Haze ’s debut record opens with? (For those who haven’t seen it, allow me to paint a picture: a collection of masked, hooded types hold flaming torches aloft, set to eerie and tense drone. Cut to Haze herself, peering intensely out of a [...]
Angel Haze - Reservation Self-released: 2012 Upon your first listen of Reservation , the recently dropped project from young New York-based rapper Angel Haze, the first thing that’s likely to jump out at you is the uncompromising honesty and intimacy of her lyricism. This quality is one that is not lost on the artist herself, and the immediate focus on this rawness is clearly intentional: the album opens with “This Is Me”, an unflinching description of Haze’s difficult childhood and subsequent troubled relationships with her close family. The title of the record must surely [...]
