Angel Haze Classick

The Detroit native made waves online last week when she released “Cleanin’ Out My Closet,” a personal tale rapped over Eminem’s track of the same title and beat, where she revealed her experiences with child abuse growing up. Now, the follow-up to that song is an entire mixtape on which listeners can find “Cleanin’ Out My Closet,” along with other tracks like “Gossip Folks,” “B*tch Bad” and other songs rapped over beats by Missy Elliott, Lupe Fiasco and more.

She brands her style of music “playa music,” and that’s about right. The Los Angeles native teamed up with producer M. Stacks for “Shinin’ on ’Em,” a laidback and funky braggadocio tale about—you guessed it—getting the money and being a star.

Jack Davey “Sh*t Gets Deep” 

Jack Davey, frontwoman of electronic-soul duo J*DaVeY, recently released the first part of her three-part EP, L0-F! Side A, and she’s gearing up to drop the album’s counterpart, Side B, on November 6.

Cody Chesnutt Landing on a Hundred

It has been 10 years since Cody Chesnutt released his debut double-album, the extremely well received The Headphone Masterpiece.

The new album features 12 songs covering a wide spectrum of topics from social consciousness to overcoming struggle and, of course, he brings his signature sound that fans have fallen in love with.
