Angel Haze is one of the most promising up-and-coming rappers in hip hop. The Detroit native lives in New York City currently and is often compared to other female rappers of her generation, like Nicki Minaj and her rival Azealia Banks.

But she has her own vision, and in a recent interview Haze shared how much she wants to be viewed as more than a rapper.

"I don't think anyone--regardless of how cocky they are--is ever prepared for this," she told Interview magazine.

She sees rock stars as having more creative freedom than rappers.

"There are so many criteria you have to meet if you say you want to be a rapper," she says. "With rock stars, it's about how crazy they are. They get to do whatever they want."
