Angel Haze

Angel Haze 21 from Michigan is another female rapper that we love. She stands out from the pack just like Azealia and Nicki do. She modestly says that she's the best and runs New York.


Angel Haze. New kid on the block.

Take a peek at 'New York'. It's a serious tune. (Explicit)

This was with Dan after the BET Awards


Angel Haze.
She's currently working with Paul Epworth who is Adele's producer and Rudimental.

Angel Haze.
Angel wants to be seen as a rock star rather than rapper as she has no time for bravado, machismo and booty flaunting.



In interviews she shows journalists her ipod to prove that she only has songs by her and Frank Ocean on it. She does not like to be influenced when recording. Her seriousness is reflected in most of her pics. 


Angel Haze. She mad.
With cult religion obsessed parents and lots of moving around and dropping out of schools it has not been an easy ride for Angel. Talent can save you though and she's blessed in that department.


Angel's Werkin' Girls is irresistible!


We like her hair like this. If she was not such a tough cookie she could do sweet as well as feisty.
6'7 Fire is another amazing track if you don't mind swearing. Tremendous number of mofos indeed. 


She's contemplating, thinking about thinking.

Finally
We really like Angel and wish her well. Can't wait for all the photoshoots to kick in and then we will update the blog.
Her EP is available to download now.

Azealia Banks

We first heard about Azealia Banks when Nme magazine mentioned her 212 video last year. When they chose her to top their 2011 cool list we paid attention and got tickets to see her on the Nme tour in February. She was amazing.
“What’s the run dude?”
Azealia Banks
What was really interesting was that she had not yet attracted all the designer love she gets nowadays so we have watched her and her style grow massively in just 6 months.

Azealia's Style Evolution
Before the designer fans her style was more like this 




First Fashion Footstep
The first thing she did style-wise was dye her hair pink for the Nme tour in February then change it nearly every week.
Beware she makes you sing the C word back to her.
Next blue and green.
Then purple.

Us Brits fell for Azealia big time on this tour.
More recently it's been red.
Green and purple now for Dazed & Confused magazine.
This fashion fun quickly got her noticed by Karl Lagerfeld.
March
In March he flew her to Tokyo to sing at a Chanel party.


April
By April GQ magazine were feeling Azealia.
Don’t let the sweetness fool you. Badass rapper!

 Love magazine seen her as an angel and put her in Vivienne Westwood Gold Label.

May
May seen the launch of EP 1991 featuring 212.
'212' very rude indeed.
Versace for W magazine.

June
June really raised our eyebrows with the super slick look that Nicholas Formichetti styled her for Liquorice video.





Liquorice video (explicit).


July
Waterfalls start with just a drop of water and Azealia's expression of personality through her hair has evolved to the Mermaid fancy dress balls/gigs that Azealia regularly throws for fans and fellow rappers.


As well as mermaids, she's into butterlflies,
and genies.


Alexander Wang used Azealia for his autumn/winter campaign.


August
Her Van Vogue launch was so popular Rankin's website kept crashing.



She's on top form with Van Vogue.

This Spin magazine look fits in with the 'aquababes' theme she's got going with the mermaid ball.

Finally
Behind the feistiness and bad language she's a sweetie really.
