DJ Khaled Presents Ace Hood Gutta

Ace Hood, born Antoine McColister in Broward County, Florida, knew he was destined for greatness. After an injury derailed his burgeoning football career, Ace turned to his true passion, rapping. At the age of 17, Ace teamed up with the Broward-County-based entertainment label, Dollaz & Dealz, to record the hit "M.O.E." (Money Over Everything") which sparked an immediate buzz in South Florida. After fine-tuning his craft on local crowds, he set his sights on performing for DJ Khaled at his annual birthday bash. "We was outside the radio station not even trying to get a deal, just hoping to perform at his birthday bash," Ace recalls. Although DJ Khaled had to go to a meeting, he stopped, looked at Ace and said, "I love your image!" Ace handed him his demo CD which resulted in a phone call to Ace's manager that night. Khaled said, "I love his swag, I hear starvation in his music and I want to take a meeting with him." That meeting turned into Ace becoming the first artist signed to "We the Best Music Group," an exclusive partnership with Def Jam Recordings. Since then, Ace has released two singles, which are setting the stage for his debut album, GUTTA, in-stores and online September 23rd.

#感人肺腑好南部# Ace Hood 是佛罗里达最近十来年出道的，给我印象最深的 MC 之一。 这张是他签大厂牌后的第一张作品，保持着地下狂野、随性的冲击力，但一点也不粗糙。 他说出的每个音节都饱含热情，是那种 00s 南方特有的积极正向又有侵略性的情绪。 这股劲儿令人怀念，如今的新歌已很难听到了。
