LA underground legend, Aceyalone, has constantly reinvented himself with each release. His classic debut, All Balls Don’t Bounce found him rhyming over jazz breaks in the early 90′s, while it’s follow-up, A Book Of Human Language took him to the depths of the concept album underground. Later we saw him collaborate with RJD2 for Magnificent [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.]
