Aceyalone, the legendary emcee and founding member of seminal rap groups Freestyle Fellowship, Haiku D’Etat and Project Blowed, has announced the follow-up to 2009′s Aceyalone & The Lonely Ones, titled Leanin’ on Slick, set to drop May 28 on Decon. Since his formative days of battling at the Good Life Cafe circa 1989, Aceyalone is [cont.]

Here’s something Aceyalone and RJD2 did for EA’s The Sims 3 soundtrack. Dun Fact: Back when Acey and RJ were recording their first LP together, the name of the group was going to be ACD2, but RJ did not want to use the name because of his dislike of the “mash-up” fad. Check it out [cont.]

The artist who on his third album, asked to be Accepted Eclectic, really meant it, as he has constantly rewritten the script for what is to be expected with each release. His classic debut, All Balls Don’t Bounce, was a slept on magnum opus, followed by the ethereal concept album Book Of Human Language with [cont.]

Hip-Hop has changed tremendously in the last ten years, and as the major label way of doing business dominates the culture, we see less and less of our favorite lyricists being rewarded for making honest music. Let’s face it – these days, you need a club-banger to get radio or video play, and at the end [cont.]

     The legacies of both Aceyalone and RJD2 have produced a handful of underground classics, whether it be Freestyle Fellowship’s Innercity Griots, Aceyalone’s Book of Human Language, or RJD2′s Dead Ringer, among other releases from each artists’ respective catalogs. So when the announcement was made that the legendary emcee and the coming-of-age producer would be [cont.]

     In 1995, at the tail end of hip-hop’s short lived fascination with sampling jazz records, there came a lone voice still struggling to establish himself after two little heard, critically acclaimed Freestyle Fellowship albums. The voice belonged to Aceyalone, and with All Balls Don’t Bounce, he ventured on his first solo mission, with a ridiculous [cont.]

How’s the tour going? The tour is cool. It has its ups and downs, but as a whole if I look at it as if it’s bad or good it’s been good. All of the shows have been cool. With Prince Paul I’m learning a lot and I get a chance to be with somebody [cont.]

 Working as a “hold-us-over” project, Aceyalone and producer Elusive deliver the better late than never Hip-Hop And The World We Live In, a weekend experiment recorded somewhere around 2000-2001, now surfacing as an “indy shop only” gem for the fans.        Heads first got a taste of this release on the 12-inch single “Bigger They Come”, which [cont.]

All Wyclef jokes aside, as far as Aceyalone’s eclecticism is concerned, there are indeed too sides to his book, whether it be one of simple mic-checking or a deeper volume of human language. Accepted Electic is Acey’s third release, combining the best of both worlds - the off-the-ball bouncing of his debut, as well as the dark [cont.]

“10 Years ago, a Rap commando unit was sent to prison for a covert experimental rhyme project deemed ahead of it’s time and insightful of public hysteria, thus a threat to commercial defense”. So let’s knock it out the box, The A-Team is Aceyalone and Abstract Rude, known on this particular project as Acey The Faceman [cont.]

Acey’s alone once again with his follow up to his slept on solo debut All Balls Don’t Bounce, with his latest effort Book of Human Language. This time striking independently, giving us an entire bible of life’s lessons in rhyme form. But without a major label Capitol to direct him, Acey defines his own hip-hop [cont.]

 The influence of Project Blowed is unquestionably un-measurable. Both the loose collective of Los Angeles artists and the ’94 compilation album of the same name have made more progressive strides for an underground movement than any other related occurrence/release. Musically influencing all types of artists across the globe while simultaneously introducing the world to some [cont.]

Acey’s one of those MCs who could easily coast by strictly on the strength of his reputation but he never seems to take the lazy way out. It’s no secret that I’m a fan, but that’s because every new song I hear him on, he’s coming with some next sh*t. Take “Accepted Eclectic”,, the lead [cont.]
