This morning, rapper Angel Haze leaked her entire debut album Dirty Gold – scheduled for release this March.
She put all twelve tracks up on SoundCloud after a disagreement with her label, Island/Republic Records.
Since they don't want to put it out this year, I will. Here's the album. HERE IS DIRTY GOLD. I hope you all enjoy it. http://t.co/MPmWL4AhoP

Haze passionately tweeted her feelings concerning the frustrating situation.
So sorry to Island/Republic Records, but fuck you. I got here doing this for my fans and if you guys don't feel the same, it won't stop me.

It's so annoying that my label could tell me that if I fucking finished my album before the summer it would be out this year.

I did not promise an album and not deliver, unlike every fucking one else. I sat my ass down and came up with this music WHEN I HAD NOTHING.

And for a glorious moment, everything was right in the world.
Until the leak was pulled and everything was wrong again.
At least we still have the lyric video for "A Tribe Called Red" while we wait for the official release.
