Ace Hood : The Born Rebel Tour
Florida rapper Ace Hood has achieved chart success with his major-label full-lengths and singles, in addition to releasing dozens of mixtapes and street albums. A brash, determined emcee, his songs reflect his life struggles and constant hustling, while allowing him to indulge in his taste for flashy cars and sexual pleasures. Signing with DJ Khaled’s We the Best Music before he turned 20, Ace released four successful albums, including the Top Five-charting Trials & Tribulations (2013), which included the platinum-certified single “Bugatti” (with Future and Rick Ross). He became an independent artist in 2016 and continued issuing mixtapes, with a more mature, R&B-influenced project titled Mr. Hood appearing in 2020. The full-length M.I.N.D. arrived in 2022 and was thematically followed by B.O.D.Y. in 2023.
Born Antoine McColister in Port St. Lucie, Ace Hood was raised by his mother in Deerfield Beach, 20 miles north of Miami. Rap music became his full-time obsession after he suffered a football injury in the tenth grade, effectively putting the kibosh on a professional sports career. By age 17, he was recording tracks for local imprint Dollaz n Dealz, and had put out a few street singles, including 2006’s “M.O.E.” (i.e., “Money Over Everything”). In November of the following year, Ace maneuvered his way into meeting DJ Khaled at local radio station 99 JAMZ and handed the Miami mixtape DJ his demo. Within a matter of weeks, DJ Khaled signed Ace, then 19 years old, as the first artist to his newly formed We the Best Music, which obtained distribution through Def Jam a few weeks after that.
