Aceyalone - Leanin On Slick LP

Post by Philaflava »

I haven't liked an Acey album in a very very long time, yet I still like him enough to continue to check out his latest work. Has anyone heard anything off of this? OME what's the verdict with your boy? Based off the t-list I'm not overly excited but when Acey wants to bring it, he still can. Unfortunately its usually on other peoples records.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuu more of that doo wop shoo waah bullshit.
Aceyalone, the legendary emcee and founding member of seminal rap groups Freestyle Fellowship, Haiku D’Etat and Project Blowed, has announced the follow-up to 2009′s Aceyalone & The Lonely Ones, titled Leanin’ on Slick, set to drop May 28 on Decon. Since his formative days of battling at the Good Life Cafe circa 1989, Aceyalone is a forefather of the West Coast underground rap scene that spawned the emergence and success of groups like The Pharcyde, Jurassic 5 and his own Freestyle Fellowship, whose 1993 record Innercity Griots is an undeniable classic of the genre.

Leanin’ moves on from the doo-wop tones of Lonely Ones in favor of soulful, funky beats to support his signature tight rhymes and bouncing-ball flow. The album features 13 dynamic tracks with frequent collaborator BIONIK, as well as Daniel Merriweather, Treasure Davis and, perhaps most notably, singer Cee Lo Green.
OME mastered this on iRock tho.

"Moving on from" something means abandoning it.

RIF. I saw Lonely Ones and BIONIK and immediately thought it was part 2. I don't actually read shit.

I'm a Project Blowed stan and I have less than zero interest in this album.

I think it's cool that Acey does whatever the fuck he wants - I supposed he's earned that right as an artist - but I just cannot fuck with any of the fusion records that he's done over the past 5 or 6 years.

i agree and i always thought there was a chance he'd do a one deal album with RSE kinda like Ab did. but the chemistry together was tight.

A bunch of those dudes like Slant, Spoon, and Very (from Afro Classics with Scarub) from that scene I wondered why they didnt have much more music out. Anyway, maybe Puzoozoo will drop a solo album again.

Puzoozoo pops up at shows around LA all the time. He is working on stuff but living a very comfortable life working in tv production

Back to Acey, I will say his Soundcloud has a lot of decent treats on it that doesn't sound like they're tracks on the new album.
