Aceyalone's Bio:

If scholars scrutinize the brush stroke of a master painter+ Aceyalone deserves the same level of appreciation for his wordplay. Ever since he first emerged with the Freestyle Fellowship+ Acey has arguably shown himself to be the premier West Coast lyricist+ crafting intricate rhyme schemes loaded with brilliant content. He flexes the creativity of a poet with the heart of a braggart+ making him a dangerous opponent in any cipher. That"s not to say that Acey"s perfect--he"s had an uneven track record on LPs. But <I>Accepted Eclectic</I> doesn"t try for the lofty (but ill-executed) concept status of <I>Book of Human Language</I>+ and features more consistent production than his debut <I>All Balls Don"t Bounce</I>. Instead+ Acey sticks to the basics: good rhymes+ good beats+ great songs. He shows unlimited range in topic+ from the reflective and philosophical "Never Knew" to the rapid-fire "B-Boy Real McCoy" to a surprising remake of Ed O.G."s classic "I Got to Have It (Too)"--he doesn"t try to improve on the original (a common mistake among rappers) but instead extends it+ even bringing in Ed O.G. to preserve the lineage. Concepts aside+ it"s still Acey"s gift of gab that"s the draw. His versatility is unparalleled: his words can tap dance their way across a track+ as on "Golden Mic+" or dig deep into it with verbal cleats+ as on "Five Feet." For veteran Acey fans and the uninitiated alike+ "Accepted Eclectic" is a stunning example of how far lyricism can go with its ability to amaze and inspire. <I>--Oliver Wang</I>

Hip Hop And The World We Live In
Love &amp; Hate

Aceyalone Album Editorial:
Aceyalone might be the ultimate rappers rapper but like Chuck D he doesnt rhyme for the sake of riddlin. His lyricism betrays a love affair with words and language as he pours every facet of his complex personality through his verses. It makes for inspired wordplay certainly and on his latest CD (his fourth solo effort) Acey continues to spill out a stream of consciousness that crashes upon the flood gates. Junkman continues his battle-rap tradition as he drums the dumbs then he flips around and attacks the nations spiritual ennui with Ms. AmeriKKKa. Hes even going after the party crowd with his bouncy Lost Your Mind. The weak point remains the production Aceys perpetual limitation as the album includes some snoozers like the glitchy electro In Stereo. But on the whole the album achieves a smart balance between hard-driving cuts like Find Out and the smoother lounge sounds of The Saga Continues. Oliver Wang

A Book Of Human Language (Accompanied By Mumbles)

Aceyalone Album Editorial:
As a member of the influential L.A. hip-hop group Freestyle Fellowship and on his solo debut Aceyalone pushed the boundaries of lyrical possibilities via tricky cadences and abstract wordplay. Independent of any major-label restraints iA Book of Human Language Aceyalones sophomore effort is an attempt to redefine your hip-hop guidelines as the MC creates a highly conceptual album based on no less than the whole of human experience. Since this record is a book each song is a chapter that builds onto the song prior and lays the foundation for the next all made conceptually cohesive with interludes narratives and the dark jazzy production of longtime collaborator Mumbles. With iHuman Language Aceyalone manages to insightfully and provocatively cover a universe of subjects delivered in poetically complex rhymes. In other words its exactly what one who is familiar with Aceyalone and Freestyle Fellowship would expect. James Tai
