Following a football injury in the tenth grade he began to seriously consider rapping as a career. In 2007, he met DJ Khaled and gave him his demo tape. Khaled asked Ace to rap over the instrumental of I'm So Hood and then decided to sign him. His debut album, Gutta, was released in 2008 and featured appearances from T-Pain, Rick Ross, Akon, Flo Rida and Trey Songz. His second album, Ruthless, was released in June 2009 and debuted at #23 on the Billboard 200.

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?

Haha, shit
'Cause I'm in the mood baby
I'm in the mood nigga
Don't give me a reason
Don't give me a reason
Shit

I'm in the mood to count up the loot, blessings

Jump out the coup, the fuck is the roof? Flexing
I'm with the crew, you ain't making moves than exit
I'm in the mood to call up your boo to sex it
'Cause I'm in the mood
'Cause I'm in the mood
'Cause I'm in the mood
'Cause I'm in the mood

Bought a car with a horse, got a young nigga whipping
I just pull up at the light, shitting on your Honda Civic
I got racks in my pocket, dead fresh catch a body
That potato on a shawty, count that money for a hobby
I just pull up to the deala, big shit Godzilla
Young nigga, chinchilla, all ice like it's winter
Hit the mall, blow a check
On the gram, gotta flex
Ain't no love for my ex, oh Lord boy you blessed
See I'm in the mood to fuck up your mood, I'm covered in juice
I just brought a crib with too many rooms, it came with a pool
I know what you're thinking, got rid of my neighbors had too many rules
Don't get it confused, don't get it confused, we never gon' lose
I'm gonna get everything a nigga pray for
Fuck me and call me daddy ain't that what you came for?
I'm in the mood, I'm like fuck it put twenty chains on
Go hit the club, brought the bottles lets see the light show

I'm in the mood to count up the loot, blessings
Jump out the coup, the fuck is the roof? Flexing
I'm with the crew, you ain't making moves than exit
I'm in the mood to call up your boo to sex it
'Cause I'm in the mood
'Cause I'm in the mood
'Cause I'm in the mood
'Cause I'm in the mood

Middle finger in the air, that's my motherfucking mood
Twenty twenty with the vision, I got panoramic views
In my cup, got that screw
Phantom ghost, peek-a-boo
Niggas sleep, let them snooze
Ace Hood got the juice
I'm the motherfucking man, twenty bands 'fore I walk through
I just brought a foreign, paid for it like a boss do
Nigga in the mood, keep it cool, goons crazy
Walk in the club with them Haitians
The fragrance, amazing
I just might cop me a crib and I don't even live in that bitch
I might just cop me a whip and I won't even drive that little shit
I might just charge every hoe that I encounter for dick
Then pull up on my old teacher who said I won't be shit, bitch

I'm in the mood to count up the loot, blessings
Jump out the coup, the fuck is the roof? Flexing
I'm with the crew, you ain't making moves than exit
I'm in the mood to call up your boo to sex it
'Cause I'm in the mood
'Cause I'm in the mood
'Cause I'm in the mood
'Cause I'm in the mood

I'm in the mood to count up the loot, blessings
Jump out the coup, the fuck is the roof? Flexing
I'm with the crew, you ain't making moves than exit

I'm in the mood to call up your boo to sex it
'Cause I'm in the mood
