Generally, small rooms like that you want to make as dead as possible ... at ALL frequencies. Foam is useful for deadening at higher frequencies, but most acoustic foam isn't thick enough to help a lot with the bass.

If it were me, I'd put thick absorption on the ceiling, at least 4" if not 6", spaced down from the ceiling. You probably don't have room for 4" traps straddling the corners, so just use panels flush against the wall, as thick as you can make them.
the closet is the only space i can record in at the moment. i just want to make it completely sound proof because, i'm tired of recording without enough gain, and having beat getting picked up from the speakers as i am recording
