Album Review: Angel Haze - Dirty Gold

Sally Anne Hurley

While there’s no denying her on-point skills as a rapper or ability to punch out candid lyrics, there’s nothing groundbreaking here

More Angel Haze Angel Haze Profile



With a bunch of mixtapes and an EP under her belt, the time has come for much-hyped American rapper Angel Haze to drop – or leak – her debut album, Dirty Gold. The LP starts off with plenty of sass and bang. Opener, Sing About Me, and single, Echelon (It's My Way), show off her trademark fast and furious flow, but the darker, mid-tempo tracks like highlight, Deep Sea Diver, take hold soon after. While there's no denying her on-point skills as a rapper or ability to punch out candid lyrics, there's nothing groundbreaking here. Strictly for the fans.
