PFFFFFF! Yeah right! What are you? The King of Knots? You think you're the freaking King of Tying Knots??
Florida’s heat has been radiating over hip-hop for many years. From the legendary “Uncle” Luke Campbell, Trick Daddy and Trina to DJ Khaled, Flo Rida, T-Pain, Rick Ross and Plies, the sunshine state has always produced hot music. The next artist to emerge from this sizzling climate is Ace Hood, and with an ace on the top of the deck, he is guaranteed to continue Florida’s heat wave.
“I got the name Ace as a child. My family always thought that I would be the one who would succeed in whatever I did,” he explains. “I feel like I’m an army in myself. I carry my own weight and since I represent for the hood, why not attach that to my name?”
Born Antoine McColister in Broward County, Florida, Ace knew he was destined for greatness. After an injury derailed his burgeoning football career, Ace turned to his true passion, rapping. At the age of 17, Ace teamed up with the Broward-County-based entertainment label, Dollaz & Dealz, to record the hit "M.O.E." ("Money Over Everything") which sparked an immediate buzz in South Florida. Ace began to perform and network which helped him gain exposure like never before. After fine-tuning his craft on local crowds, he set his sights on performing for DJ Khaled at his annual birthday bash.
“We was outside the radio station not even trying to get a deal, just hoping to perform at his birthday bash,” he recalls. “We just figured we’d try and perform. He had a contest going on where you had to give a certain amount of reasons why you should perform at the birthday bash. So I was going to rap for him on camera and show him why I was worthy. Although he had to go to a meeting, he came out, looked at me and said I love his image. We handed him a CD and once we did that he listened to it and called my manager that night. He said I love his swag, I hear starvation in his music and I want to take a meeting with him.”
That meeting turned into Ace becoming the first artist signed to DJ Khaled’s label “We the Best” distributed by Def Jam Records. His hot new single “Cash Flow” featuring T-Pain and Rick Ross is currently blazing the radio waves everywhere. “Once I played the song for Rick Ross he loved it and he put his whole swag to it” explains Khaled. “The song was pretty much done but we felt to make it more of a hit record, get somebody like T-Pain who’s running the game right now, on the hook to make it go that much further.” The song is setting the stage for Ace’s debut album, Gutta, with guest appearances from some of rap’s elite including Trick Daddy, Flo Rida, Akon, Plies and production from Cool & Dre, The Runners, Danjahandz and J.U.S.T.C.E. League, Ace’s deck is definitely stacked.
“This album is definitely gonna be a classic,” Ace says confidently. “People are expecting a lot out of me not only because I’m on Khaled’s label, but because everyone knows that the ace is ranked as the highest.”
With an ace up your sleeve, how can you go wrong?

Ace Hood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So baby holla at a G
I keep you away from pranksters
You can be my mistress, I can be ya gangsta
Seen you on the money rocking bring me back the paper
Give you back half just for doing me that favor
And yeah that's a thug's move
Show you what a thug do
Forget about old dude, call him Mr.used too
I can put it down like the top of my new Coop
Baby that's roofless
Tell ya what the truth is
Niggas can't hit it right
Den baby he useless
I'm a young thug, give it to you with my Chews on,
Shoes on, just encase a youngin' gotta move on
[Chorus: Lloyd]
When at home all alone at night
Cause that other nigga ain't loving you rite
Just call me
Girl I can put it down (down)
You spending money on that buddy ain't hood
And no worries baby it's all good
Just call me
I'll always be around (round)
[Ace Hood]
And though he bought you that watch
Ya man ain't nothing
So holla at a G if you need some thug loving
Late nights on a call say she wanna feel sumum
She tell me put it down
I fuck her on hundreds
I give her refunds and her body keeps cumming
She know I put it down baby girl stop running
So what you wanna do cause I'm young and still thugging
Just take this good while I'm headed to the money
Taking shots of the goose just to mix with getting blunted
See I can brighten days keep ya wrists all studded
Ya boyfriends' lame tell 'em Guttah get money

That's why you keep coming rite back
[Chorus: Lloyd]

Hit it from the back, see you feeling like fruit juice
Fitted to the back, see he can eat what ya man do
Ain't doing his job, you can hit me on the hip boo
Ace

Heavy off in the streets, see ya man, I'm a deal with him
