Angel Haze, we’re gonna let you finish, but Beyonc├â┬⌐ had the best online album release of all time!
JK! We love you Angel! Your record label might be pissed at you, but sure as hell ain’t!
In a heated tweeted rant yesterday, not only did Angel slam her record label Island/Republic Records for not following through on their promise to release her album Dirty Gold this year, she also leaked her own album via a link to SongCloud (it has since been removed.)
Still, she got in more than just a couple of jabs to her music people for the tracks were pulled, tweeting:
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.

Idc what happens after this. They will get the music they were promised. And you guys JUST MAY LEARN TO KEEP YOUR FUCKING WORD.

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

My labels didn't think that I would do it, but I did. It's hard to put at risk everything I've spent this year working on but I had to

Meanwhile, during all this it looks like Angel and her record label reached an understanding:
My labels have agreed to release Dirty Gold December 30th. Uk & US. (Rest of the world, we are coming for you as well). Thank you all. Night

We’re proud of Angel sticking up for herself and taking a stand! She obviously cares a lot about her music to do something so drastic!
Also, looks like she got her Christmas wish of an earlier release as a result!
