Last night I attended a listening party in New York for Miami based artist Ace Hood, the first artist to be signed to DJ Khaled's We The Best label back in 2007. From what I heard, this latest LP, set to drop in just a few days, is a guaranteed banga! Every track was smash after smash and I'm not exaggerating. The album, entitled "Blood Sweat & Tears" is Ace Hood's third studio album but the first to tell his story. With every artist there is a story behind the music, behind the grind and with every track Ace is definitely taking you deeper and deeper into what it is he's had to endure, the life he lives, the struggles and why the grind has been so consistent. The first single off the album "Hustle Hard" has been going hard in the streets and on your radios for the past few months. I'm completely in love with the remix which features both Rick Ross & Lil Wayne! The second single off the album "Go and Get It" has been knocking hard in the streets too and though it hasn't been released yet, the remix is as official as a referee with a whistle! I got a chance to hear it yesterday at the listening party and let me be the first to say its guaranteed to blow minds! The features, their verses, I will leave it at that! The third single off the album is a song for us ladies entitled "Body 2 Body" ft. Chris Brown. Now that's my joint. Ace world premiered the video on 106 & Park yesterday and the response was amazing. The video is hot, it definitely had me feeling some kind of way after seeing it. If nothing else, he knows how to keep it sexy for the ladies! *excuse me while I fan myself* Lol. I've been trying to decide all day on what my favorite song is but I love so many of them. Right now It's a tie between "Beautiful" & "Memory Lane", both tracks feat. Kevin Cossom and both tracks are amazing! Oh, & fellas, there is this track "Letter To My Ex's" that I'm sure you all will love. I can go on and on about every track on the album but I won't. I think you all are starting to get the picture. Ace has been slept on but the young man is bringing nothing but hits this go round. I believe every word in every song. Every track on the album has potential to be a hot single. I didn't hear a song that I didn't like. The features on the album are crazy. The lyrics are crazy. The beats is crazy! If you don't like this album you simply don't know good music. I support this guy! Take your time with the music and listen to the lyrics. Rather you hop on iTunes or run out to your nearest Best Buy or Target, this album is most definitely worth the purchase! Aug. 9th "Blood Sweat & Tears"! I've pre-order my copy, make sure you grab yours!
