Released when he was still calling himself "Master Ace" and known for his lead verse in the Cold Chillin' posse cut "The Symphony", Ace's debut aims to present him as a smart young star on the rise. He's rapid-fire riffing on many different things, from old Grand Funk bass lines ("Music Man") to Gil Scott-Heron (the title track), because he's a man of many talents, and the breadth of it all is mildly impressive. Yeah but…was nearly 70 minutes of it necessary? At this point, there was potential yet to be fulfilled…
