For the life of me, I don’t know how anyone can listen to this joint without the urge to scream “same ‘ol shit…just a different day” but whatever’s clever, Young Ace. The lyrical drug runner from Florida is moving burnouts, weed packs and everything else he can get his hands on to get that Def Jam advance in order. You can’t knock the hustle. Sometimes you have to go out and take what wrongfully belongs to you. Read the rest of this entry »

If rap doesn’t pan out, YC will undoubtedly go on to become a dairy farmer. He’s been milking this “racks on racks on racks” shit for all it’s worth on top of an extra line of credit. No need to play the blame game, however. Record labels are still rolling out all the stops for obvious one-hit wonders so it’s get in where you fit in until the cow tipping season comes to a halt.

Trae Tha Truth is without a doubt one of the most underrated, overlooked, deserving talents of this game. He’s well aware of it so no need to go because it hasn’t steered him away from the quest to get his forthcoming album, Street King on shelves this summer (6.28.11, mark the date!). To celebrate his retail victory, the Houston Astro called up Don Cannon and explicitly instructed he needed some street heat to let the fans know what’s around the corner.

He may be “booked out ’til August” but the time is now for Ace Hood to have a block party in front of the coroner’s office, handing out toe tags with the We The Best logo stamped on them. His third album, Blood, Sweat And Tears, is on the way but DJ Infamous is helping the young Miami rapper carry out the autosopies on his Body Bag Vol. 1 mixtape. Read the rest of this entry »

When it rains Lex Luger, it undoubtedly pours so it should surprise no one that young Ace had multiple studio sessions with VA’s heavyweight producer on the heels and success of “Hustle Hard.” Sadly, Ace seems to be the latest rap voice to fall victim to Rozay Syndrome, as the new street single from his Blood, Sweat And Tears album sounds like “Hustle’s…” long lost twin separated at birth.

I know myself and few other TSS Crew members are glad Ace Hood has come into his own, not just as a fiery vocalist, but more focused artist. We share a casual sense of anticipation to see how well his third LP, Blood, Sweat & Tears will do on our scale of approval. To increase the awareness and the buzz, Ace is clipping and zipping up his next freebie in Body Bag Vol. 1 with DJ Infamous set to blaze the wheels of steel. Read the rest of this entry »

We’re still a few months away from compiling our favorite songs of the halfway point of 2011, yet I feel confident in saying the remix to Ace Hood’s street/club/radio anthem has a spot already secured. Read the rest of this entry »

“Never slippin, I’m ballin, Puff keep on callin’
I don’t see none of you pussies, fuck that shit you be talkin’
Rep Miami the ghettos, every hood and the projects
And when I drop off my singles, I’m droppin’ one of my targets
Lord forgive me for my siiiiiinnnnns, I gave you hits
I gave you “All I Do Is Wiiiiiiiiinnnnnn” Read the rest of this entry »

Creating a hit single is equivalent to consistently hitting the 15-foot jumper or being tall enough to provide tough interior defense and six fouls in the NBA. Which explains why Jalen Rose, Nazr Mohammed and Ace Hood are all still employed in their respective professions. In fact, the NBA and Rap game have another similarity in the fact that once you’re in, you can bounce around to the point of anonymity until you see yourself out. Read the rest of this entry »

“SMH at Lex Luger. Ace Hood’s career was damn near dead n then Lex just had to toss Ace a monster in ‘Hustle Hard.”

And I couldn’t agree more. When you get awarded 2.5 Cigs twice in a row and become the #1 trending topic on Twitter just because Jeff Rosenthal was a Marvel Comic villain in his former life, it would seem your next career move would involve the microphone, a closet and plenty of hangtime, David Carradine.

Can you believe this? In anticipation for his Cash Money debut We The Best Forever, the possibly deaf DJ Khaled has the nerve to call up damn near every rapper registered to ASCAP and BMI combined for his open-armed remix to “Welcome to My Hood,” but leaves out the one guy you would just assume to be featured.

Wayne. Ross. Hood. Luger.

The lineup most definitely sounds like one of DJ Khaled’s typical bright ideas but for now, it stands as your unofficial notice that you HAVE to pay attention to Ace Hood this year. He does it for it sport and has been going so hard in the paint, he wipes chips on his doormat when he walks into house every night. Read the rest of this entry »

My homie Joe and I have been going back and forth for years about Red Cafe. He’s of the belief Cafe is nice; I respectfully disagree because while I’m not saying he can’t rap, he just hasn’t made anything outstanding either. Still, I consider myself an even-keeled person and will show respect when it is due. Case in point, Red’s new song with Rick Ross, “Faded.” Read the rest of this entry »

Young Antoine McColister is an easy target for slander and if you click his name for yourself, you’ll see most of his coverage is less than favorable. And while his songmaking skills are still suspect, the mixtape game is his turf and he does it for the sport. Since creativity doesn’t score any points in this arena, be prepared for Ace to tackle your favorite, more recent Loosies and a couple of new tracks with the most abused producer of the moment: Read the rest of this entry »
