angel haze - cleaning out my closet

when i was thinking of what to write about, i've had in mind to do another entry on lady leshurr as she's one of my favourite emcees currently. then i heard angel haze's "new york" again and i was sure to drop my word about that. i'm late on the angel haze train but after hearing her last mixtape but i am a fan now.

she dropped a mixtape recently and people have been bugging out about her take on eminem's "cleaning out my closet" and so have i. henceforth i couldn't write about about "new york" or leshurr's "upset" from the "l yeah!" mixtape but i really like that tune. every other song seemed irrelevant to this track at the moment, even other really strong songs such as säkert's "allt som är ditt" or billie holiday's "i'm left alone".

on eminem's original the topic at hand is airing out things that happened in the past and so does angel haze only her story is something else then marshall mathers. haze tells a really graphic and souldraining story about when she was sexually molested by a relative when she was very young. the level of detail gets you into her state of mind and when you hear the whole track, you are disgusted with all of humanity.

no person deserve to ever be abused, wether it's sexually or physically or mentally but you need to hear strong testimonials like this to remind yourself that some people have real problems. chances are that you will be disgusted with yourself after hearing this song, but you do want to hear it again. to analyze what haze is saying in deep accounts and to hear brilliance.
