Possessed of a kind of self-awareness and assuredness usually known to those much older, Angel Haze is a poetry-turned-rap act based out of New York. With a raw style that feels distinctly East Coast, the artist uses deep knowledge of self to channel various personality aspects, being vulnerable and emotional one minute and suddenly brash and aggressive the next. Haze eventually brought this considerable lyrical talent to the rap world with a 2012 album, Reservation. ~ Gregory Heaney
