Американ рэпері Aceyalone туралы

American rapper

Edwin Maximilian "Eddie" Hayes, Jr. (born September 30, 1970), better known by his stage name Aceyalone, is an American rapper from Los Angeles, California, United States. He is a member of Freestyle Fellowship, Haiku D'Etat and The A Team. He is also a co founder of Project Blowed. Aceyalone is best known for his role in evolving left field hip hop on the West Coast at a time when the West Coast was dominated by gangsta rap. He began rapping as part of the group Freestyle Fellowship, which consisted of Aceyalone, Myka 9, and Self Jupiter. Later, P. E. A. C. E. Freestyle Fellowship developed a reputation for influencing a style of fast double time rap used by rappers like Busta Rhymes, Bone Thugs n Harmony, and Migos. Aceyalone was part of Freestyle Fellowship releases of To Whom It May Concern and Innercity Griots and a Project Blowed compilation in 1994.

Aceyalone signed as a solo artist to Capitol Records after the Freestyle Fellowship failed to break into mainstream radio with Island Records. He returned three years later with the dark concept album A Book of Human Language, which was a collaboration with producer Mumbles. His third solo album, Accepted Eclectic, was released in 2001 and featured Abstract Rude with production from Evidence. He released Hip Hop and the World We Live In in 2002. Aceyalone's next offering came a year later, and was titled Love & Hate. The track “Find Out” was featured on the soundtrack to You Got Served. In 2006, Aceyalone released Magnificent City, a collaborative album with producer RJD2, followed by the Grand Imperial mixtape. Aceyalone frequently collaborates with producer Bionik, including on the 2007 release Lightning Strikes and the 2009 release Aceyalone & the Lonely Ones. Both albums explored different genres – dancehall and doo wop, respectively – as part of Aceyalone's goal of “exploring the world of music through hip hop.” Leanin' on Slick, released in 2013 with Decon Records, continued the retro flow of the previous release, this time taking inspiration from 1960s style R&B and hot buttered soul.

Aceyalone has been noted particularly for his innovative lyrical style and content. Some attribute the double time rap styles that emerged in the mid 1990s to Aceyalone and Freestyle Fellowship, although this is disputed by others. Aceyalone and Freestyle Fellowship were noted for their rejection of the West Coast trend of gangsta rap. Aceyalone developed strong critiques of rap music's commercialization and glorification of violence.
