    Angel Haze has dope lyrics, it's just that I knew her as a rapper but she overdid the singing... There are songs that were well executed... She has also shown to all the Devil-worshipping rappers that she worships the Lord and she showed it in Rose-Tinted Suicide...

    This album is bursting with inspirational lyrics and great beats. An example is “Angels & Airwaves”, a song about self-harming but also “Black Dahlia”, a song about Angel’s troublesome relationship with her mother. This album is a must buy and worth a 10/10.

    Angel Haze's "Dirty Gold" really impressed me! I didn't hope for something so powerful from a rapper. This album is so personal and Angel put so many Faith and love on the songs that I'm really in loved.

    The successful mix of singing and rapping parts Haze from other female such as Iggy Azalea or Nicki Minaj, and her moving and spiritual lyrics are good for any mood. The dialogue on tracks such as 'Sing About Me' or 'A Tribe Called Red' spoil the mood occasionally, but Haze's amazing lyrical skills redeem her and her brilliant production propel her into a new realm of rap.

    She's going for Nicki Minaj meets Eminem meets Rihanna on the Tyra show. It feels like a major missed opportunity.

    Haze's impetuosity may've harmed Dirty Gold's commercial prospects, but the purity of her intent speaks volumes. [Mar 2014, p.94]

    Dirty Gold is certainly a flawed debut, and yet it's not what's inside that's flawed, it's just the container's inability to hold such OCD-ish genius.
