Los Angeles rapper and founding member of Freestyle Fellowship, Haiku D’Etat and Project Blowed, Aceyalone returns with Aceyalone & The Lonely Ones, which draws on Phil Spector, 60s girl groups, the J.B.s and a slew of raw, dirty funk for sonic inspiration.
This album and its upbeat doo-wop feel was an ode of the emcee to the famous musical era. “I’m just putting myself into that character as a showman and bandleader," the emcee explains to ArjanWrites. "But I can still rhyme with the best of them. Artists are going to experiment and go different places and I love that whole era anyway.”
Get a totally guilt-free download of Aceyalone's "That Way It Is," a super catchy tune that is a great example of the feel-good throw-back vibe of this new Aceyalone album. (Click here to download hs new album "Aceyalone & the Lonely Ones" on iTunes.)
