How we goin'? This is my new blog! I'm Ace Ha, a hip-hop producer out of Los Angeles (Indiana originally). The REAL kind. The crate-diggin', sample-choppin', Golden-age-lovin' kind. Lately, I've been waking up to the fact that America at large doesn't even realize how that kind of programming works and so I've been sort of getting around to writing a book about it for the lay person. Sorta somewhere in between a manual for an MPC and that busted-ass retroactive spiritual mumbo-jumbo that RZA put out. This blog is meant to kinda get my writing chops up for that endeavor!
I mean to talk about some of the finer points of classical hip-hop production, give props to the illest beatboys, feature some albums that have fire beats and just generally celebrate this largely ignored art. If you're a synthy-ass crunk dealer, welcome! If you're a grimey-fingered vinyl hound, welcome! If you're my girlfriend sniffing around to see if I'm doing something foul, welcome! My only aim is to open some eyes (and hopefully hearts!) to the richness of this music that I love almost as much as life itself.. my life sure wouldn't be nearly as hype without it!
Another thang before we begin: I have a li'l Soundclick Widget to the right. This is going to have my own beats bumpin'. I'll rotate the songs pretty frequently so pay attention! If you're feeling the tracks and maybe want to get down on some projects, holla! I'm always down for an ill collabo. Out!
