Rapper Angel Haze leaked her debut album, Dirty Gold, on Twitter this morning. "Since they don't want to put it out this year, I will," she wrote. "Here's the album. Here is Dirty Gold. I hope you enjoy it." The link to SoundCloud leak has since been removed, but the album was originally slated for a January 2014 release.
"Sorry to Island/Republic Records, but f**k you," the 22 year old posted. "I got here doing this for my fans and if you guys don't feel the same, it won't stop me... I don't care what happens after this. [The fans] will get the music they were promised. And you guys [the label] just may learn to keep your fucking word." Republic/Island hasn't released a comment yet.
According to Rolling Stone, her frustration with the label began last night. She tweeted, "Frustration is building. Growing wildly out of control. ... It's so annoying that my label could tell me that if I f**king finished my album before the summer it would be out this year."
In an onslaught of tweets, she let out all of her concerns. "I turned down so much shit to be sure that I could finish this album because actually wanting something to me means doing all you can to be sure that it's attainable," she wrote. She addressed her fans saying, "I did not promise an album and not deliver, unlike every-f**king-one else. I sat my ass down and came up with this music when I had nothing." She said she had been "taking it on the chin" and pleaded, "Imagine having the only reason you're alive being the very thing straining your existence. Ughhh."
