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.  (Photo: Derek Reed / Picture Group)

8. Her Videos Are Off the Wall - Angel Haze has an eye. Her clip for "Werkin Girls" features kidnappings, Freddy Krueger gloves and aluminum-foil ski masks. Her video for "New York" was compellingly bizarre, scary and sexual — which may be why it's been scrubbed from the Web.    (Photo: Paras Griffin/Landov)
9. She Can Rap Her Butt Off - Most important, Angel Haze can Rap. With a capital R. Check the infectious swagger of "Werkin Girls," or the breathless rhyme patterns of "New York" or the confidence of "Gossip Folks" — Angel is a lot more than just a pretty face and a buzzworthy bio.

It's Bigger Than Rap, Though - Her rapping skills are still miles ahead, but Angel Haze shows major potential as a singer on both of her mixtapes, Classick and Reservation. And expect to hear a lot more singing and musical excursions that go way beyond rap soon. "I’m shaping myself up for the crossover...I am taking vocal lessons and guitar lessons," she told The New York Times recently. "I want to be an artist you cannot categorize at all. You can’t put a box around me. You can’t put anything around me." (Photo: John Ricard / BET)

7. She Puts It All Out There - Angel Haze is making major noise with "Cleaning Out My Closet," a raw standout from her new mixtape Classick. Over the instrumental for the Eminem song of the same title, Angel raps vividly about her sexual abuse as a child and the problems it's caused throughout her life — suicidal thoughts, an eating disorder and much more.
