The guys came up with beats for Angel to listen to and decide which ones for her song. Angel felt it wasn't the right quality to put out for her and could tarnish her. She wanted to wait till she met the right people and had faith she would. Still performing she got an offer from Honda to be the face of the Honda Element new Suv that was about to release.
