Today we’d like to introduce you to Haizi Haze.
Hi Haizi, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
Haizi Haze is back with her brand new “SMOKE & MIRRORS – EP.” The project has an undeniable energy & provides listeners with a much needed re-up of 6 new songs. With production that moves between deep 808s, smoky boom bap, and pulsing dancehall drums, the EP proves Haizi isn’t just playing with vibes—she is the vibe.
High Times Magazine gave their official stamp of approval, naming Haizi Haze “Hip Hop’s New Queen of Cannabis.” Not long after the High Times article was published, Haizi was booked to headline their Cannabis Cup alongside hip hop legends Method Man & RedMan.
Over the years, Haizi became a very familiar face in the cannabis community, and worked with several shops & brands based in Los Angeles. Within one week of moving to LA, Haizi was hired to work as a budtender at a medical cannabis dispensary. While managing a shop on Melrose Ave in West Hollywood, Haizi released her debut music project “FREE DABS.” This cannabis inspired EP enabled Haizi to cross promote her music in dispensaries & smoke shops, and she was able to make many meaningful relationships with customers who still work in important roles in the cannabis & music industries.
Originally from Boston, the 27 year old recording artist now lives in Los Angeles, and has found success working between the worlds of music, cannabis, & tech. You may recognize Haizi from her work with Weedmaps, High Times, Raw Papers, Smoke Odor Candles. With her loyal following on social media, Haizi Haze continues to position herself as a premiere tastemaker in the cannabis industry.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
I’m grateful for my journey, and I’ve been very fortunate to meet some amazing people & learn from some of the best in the business. I’m not a major artist, and I’m not signed to any major label deals. There are pros and cons to being independent though…One major upside is that I have no baggage from past bad deals…but one major downside is I don’t have the resources to fully push my music to the mass audiences & playlist networks. I’ve talked to OGs and it always seems like the grass is greener depending on which side you’re standing. I love the freedom of being independent, but I would entertain a major deal if the right partners made a respectable offer.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
