Talking to Angel Haze - NYTimes.com

Troubled childhoods often produce artists, although more often than not the source of the pain driving a young musician remains shrouded, only surfacing years later in memoirs or biographies. But Angel Haze, a promising 21-year-old vocalist and rapper residing in Brooklyn, has decided to speak plainly about some of the demons behind her art.

On “Cleanin’ Out My Closet,” Angel Haze raps (over an Eminem beat of the same name) about the sexual abuse she says she suffered for several years starting when she was 7, and the mental turmoil that followed: suicidal thoughts, anger, self-hatred and an eating disorder. The track will appear on a mixtape she plans to release on Thursday. She also talks about her bisexuality and how she thinks it is linked to the abuse.

These would be difficult topics for an established artist to take on, but Angel Haze, whose real name is Raykeea Wilson, is just starting a career. Last summer, she signed a contract with Universal Republic Records just three weeks after her first set of songs, “Reservation,” was released for free on the Internet and drew critical praise. Hoping to win fans and build expectations for her major-label debut next spring, Ms. Wilson, a Detroit native, did two shows last week during the CMJ Music Marathon in New York, including Mass Appeal’s showcase at the Gramercy Theater.

She spoke to The New York Times recently about her decision to release a song about being raped as child and about why she decided to abandon a chance to study neurobiology at Penn State for a career in music. These are edited excerpts.

track is flamez tho, but still

Grow up. I was gonna be a little if this was a man taking that step but better something like this than how good her p*ssy is like every other female raper. Females can go there

...but yeah, I wanted to check her out when I saw the cypher and found out that she was Detroit too. Can't lie...rape bars aren't the wave (for ME), but the honesty's impressive.
