Eight years is a long time for an MC to go without a new album—especially when you consider how much hip-hop trends can change from one year to the next. But Ace, who was 33 when this CD came out, has no problem changing with the times and delivering an excellent album that is mindful of 2000's rap tastes.
An MC typically releases new albums every few years; eight years without an album is unusual, particularly given how quickly hip-hop trends can shift. Ace, who was 33 at the time this CD came out, successfully adapts to current rap styles and produces a high-quality album that reflects the tastes of 2000.
