Meet the future hip hop star Angel Haze tonight on 106!

3. She's Repping for the Res - Angel Haze is half Cherokee, and proud of it — she evens speaks the language fluently. She repped her roots with the name of her mixtape, Reservation.(Photo: John Ricard / BET)
4. She's Got a Backstory - Angel Haze's Native American background — sorely underrepresented in rap thus far — isn't the only interesting twist in her biography. She was studying neurobiology at Penn State before she went into music. She's bisexual and not afraid to talk about it. She was sexually abused as a child and isn't afraid to talk about that, either (more on that later). Angel definitely has a story to tell. (Photo: Derek Reed / Picture Group)
5. She's Paving Her Own Lane - Many have tried to lazily compare Angel Haze to other female rappers: Like Lauryn Hill, she can rap and sing; like Azealia Banks, she's bisexual and genre-bending. But, with her compelling story, raw vulnerability and razor-sharp, multisyllabic bars, Angel has her own vision. (Photo: John Ricard / BET)
6. She Destroyed the Cypher - Folks who watched the BET Hip Hop Awards already know: Angel Haze absolutely murdered her verse in the Cypher, more than holding her own next to more established MCs A$AP Rocky, Joey Bada$ and Danny Glover.
