US rapper Angel Haze is an outspoken voice in hip-hop, with her raw personal tales of rape and sexual abuse. She says she rejects labels of race, gender, and sexuality, and often deals with difficult topics in her lyrics, rather than common rap themes of money, drugs, and sex, as she wants to help others by sharing her experiences.

She joined Jane Garvey to tell her about her life and her music.
