28 Feb Ace Hood Taps the Greatness of His ‘M.I.N.D.’ in Triumphant New EP
With his razor sharp wit, unflappable sense of self, and a fresh, focused vision, Ace Hood is captaining his own ship with confidence and clarity. Years of focused introspection and dedicated self-improvement have helped Ace develop a refined ethos, which bleeds through every bar of his new EP, M.I.N.D. (Memories Inside Never Die).
“The title Memories Inside Never Die represents the moments and experiences that have shaped and molded how I view the world, both good and bad,” says Ace Hood.
“If we don’t heal our self-limiting thoughts and beliefs, those memories will never die. Memories that stuck with me the most are the ones where I learned profound lessons or came to a realization about myself–growing up as a dark skin kid, being an average student, my father not being around, all of that brought me great pain. But eventually, I started to challenge my thoughts and beliefs, and developed a better understanding of myself.”
Featuring recent singles like the boldly aspirational, “Glory,” and the glowingly self-assured, “Little Light,” M.I.N.D. marks a fresh, new start for Ace. Enlisting fellow independent veteran and outspoken activist Killer Mike for the project’s sole feature, the project is animated by a clear social message that dissects the mentality required to triumph over personal and generational trauma.
Whether he’s celebrating the spoils of his hard-earned self-sovereignty as an artist on tracks like “Living Legend,” or grappling with long-standing structures which serve to deny him that autonomy as a black man on songs like “Free,” M.I.N.D. serves as Ace’s testament to the universal truths found only by looking inward.
“Knowledge is power,” asserts Ace Hood. “The key is to work together to further each other. I speak on a human level because at some point I, or a loved one, have been affected by the issues I speak about in my rhymes. I believe people need a fearless representation of what these issues look like.”
