      1. Meet Angel Haze.

      Real name Raykeea Angel Wilson. She's the up and coming 22-year-old Detroit rapper that everyone's talking about. Let us break down the basics of what you need to know...

    2. Angel Haze – New York

      2. She released her debut EP in 2012, age 21.

      The EP caught the music world's attention as it charted at number 58 on the UK singles chart.

    3. Angel Haze

      3. She gives really good advice on Twitter. (Sometimes stolen for Tumblr).

      Seriously though, Angel Haze's Twitter account is worth a look at. The rapper tweets everything from her random thoughts to her outspoken opinions - plus a lot of motivational stuff inbetween.

    4. Angel Haze

      4. Angel Haze has a painful past, and she's not afraid to rap about it.

      Most notably on 'Cleaning Out My Closet' where she freestyles over Eminem's tune; 'See I was young man, I was just a toddler, a kid/ And he wasn't the first to successfully try but he did' - we'll let you listen to the rest. Picture: PA

    5. Angel Haze

      5. Angel Haze describes herself as 'Pansexual'.

      Often open about her sexuality, Haze is quoted as saying; “Love is boundary-less. If you can make me feel, if you can make me laugh – and that’s hard – then I can be with you. I don’t care if you have a vagina or if you’re a hermaphrodite or whatever.” Picture: Facebook

    6. Angel Haze

      6. If she didn't get into the music industry... She was going to be a surgeon.

      Haze had a place at Penn State University where she was going to study neurobiology and become a surgeon, but decided to go into music instead. .Picture: Getty

    7. Angel Haze

      7. If you haven't heard the freestyle she released over Macklemore's 'Same Love,' YouTube it now.

      When Macklemore released a song about equality for the LGBT community, Haze took it and added her own stamp - making the track even more powerful. Her freestyle over the song features personal lyrics such as 'It's tougher when it's something you can't deny/ and ignorance teaches us it's something that you decide'. Picture: Facebook

    8. Angel Haze

      8. Don't beef with her. Don't even subliminally beef with her.

      When Azealia Banks tweeted: "Seriously, if you were not born in in NY… DON'T CLAIM NY. YOU ARE NOT A NEW YORKER." Haze took it personally and bit back, a ton of tweets and three diss tracks later, the lesson is, just don't do anything to annoy Angel Haze. Picture: Getty

    9. Angel Haze

      9. In a move threatened by loads but carried out by none, she leaked her own album.

      After putting her own album online three months before its release date, Haze made a YouTube video to explain her actions. She claimed the album had been sitting complete for seven months and with regards to her label, said they were telling her 'I wanna support your dreams, but I'm also gonna f**k with them". Pretty badass.
