Meet Angel Haze: Rapper Tackling Sex Abuse in Her Rhymes
Raykeea Wilson is gesturing in a windowless, green-walled conference room in Midtown Manhattan, cutting arcs with her hands as she describes her onstage persona. “She’s the person I don’t have the guts to be,” says the Brooklyn rap newcomer, whose friends call her Raeen. “She is the person I feel I was born to be and in some way will come into in life.”
She’s talking about Angel Haze, the never-gave-a-fuck force she werewolfs into when she rhymes on stage — with a kind of spitfire that inked the 21-year-old a record deal with Universal Republic just weeks after the release of her first mixtape, Reservation. There’s a lot of momentum for the Detroit-born Wilson at the moment: Pitchfork loved her mixtape; Fader compared her to Biggie Smalls; she was even featured in the New York Times. But perhaps most significantly, she’s sparked the most in-depth conversation in hip hop since Frank Ocean came out — with the release of “Cleaning Out My Closet,” a jarring account of childhood sexual abuse.

Who is Lauryn Hill? Years after the Fugees’ breakup, a seminal solo album, a retreat from music, and a chaotic return, the singer is back in the news after pleading guilty to tax evasion. Friends tell Allison Samuels how Ms. Hill got here.
Meanwhile, Marine Le Pen, didn’t resist a dig at the pop legend, who at 53, is 10 years her senior. “Old singers who need attention—you can understand that they go to such extremes,” she said, adding that if Madonna “does that in France, we’ll be waiting for her.
The French can’t help but take some swipes at Madonna, also file legal complaint for swastika video.

This is probably the most genius mashup of all time (oxymoron? but still.)
