Angel Haze - Gossip Folks

Once upon in Detroit, there was a little bitch born with a sweet voice, all she ever wanted was to sing a song and have a crowd full of people to sing along.

It's time again to look at another female rapper better than the women out there trying to pass off as contributing to the genre (cough, cough...Beez In The Trap...).  Michigan's Angel Haze released her Classick mixtape at the end of October, and I've had the tracks of repeat since.  "Doo Wop (That Thing)" is nostalgic, "Bitch Bad" is tough, and today's "Gossip Folks" still rises above them.  It's a little industrial, and a little throwback, but it's Miss Haze's rhymes that set her apart from the counterparts out there.  Throwback, because it samples Missy Elliot's own track of the same name.  But to take the background beats from one song and being able to make it your own is a gift.  FKi has it, and so does Angel Haze.

Oh, and I want to see her go toe-to-toe with Azealia Banks.  You know you want it too.
