Ace

With a string of singles to his name, ACE lets his music do the talking and in turn has steadily built up views across all his videos. “More” shows the young rapper’s effortless talent and personal ambition.


Born and raised in Bermondsey, South London, rapidly-rising rhymer Ace only dropped his first video in April 2019, but he’s already setting his sights on the title of G.O.A.T.


The rapper cheekily claims he has no influences — only himself — but his style and delivery make more than a few allusions to UK rap’s forebears like K Koke and early Giggs. “Where I’m From”, in particular, makes maximum use of a hypnotic, mantra-like flow on the hook — the kind of eerie, twinkling melody that Blade Brown and the like would jump at the chance to vocal. However, this early into his career, Ace is still exploring himself as an artist. “I’m always coming up with different flows,” he says. “I’m an artist, not just a rapper. As long as the beat sounds cold, I can just flow with it.”


So far, Ace has four videos under his belt — “Plenty”, “Where I’m From”, “They Watching” and “More” — all of them autobiographical and all of them unflinching in their detailing of the gritty and raw realities of street life.
