Hazel-E

Pop-rapper and reality television star Hazel-E was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, but being part of a military family meant she was raised all over the States, eventually landing in Los Angeles. As often as the places changed, so did her taste in music, as artists like <a href="spotify:artist:0TImkz4nPqjegtVSMZnMRq">TLC</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5a2EaR3hamoenG9rDuVn8j">Prince</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:6tbjWDEIzxoDsBA1FuhfPW">Madonna</a> flowed through the headphones. A move to Hollywood influenced her to try acting, then in 2008 she launched her music career. A year later she released her Shoe Fetish mixtape hosted by <a href="spotify:artist:0Dc2rdPzleezxhvQhQbXuS">Idris Elba</a> and DJ Shogun, while 2010 saw her release the hit single "Valley Girl." The Diary of a Valley Girl mixtape followed in 2011, then the Girlcode album followed in 2012. In 2014 she joined the cast of Love & Hip-Hop: Hollywood and became known as the ex-girlfriend of <a href="spotify:artist:0BrPKSAeplwezYR1T2DF9s">Yung Berg</a>, ex-girlfriend of <a href="spotify:artist:23MPAWNQLgjmhquLiZ6tWg">Katt Williams</a>, and ex-girlfriend of <a href="spotify:artist:6gbGGM0E8Q1hE511psqxL0">Ray J</a>. A year later she joined the <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22KT+Music+Group%22">KT Music Group</a> and released the aptly titled single "Na U Kno." ~ David Jeffries
