Ace Hood

Born Antoine McColister in Broward County, Florida, Ace knew he was destined for greatness. After an injury derailed his burgeoning football career, Ace turned to his true passion, rapping. At the age of 17, Ace teamed up with the Broward-County-based entertainment label, Dollaz & Dealz, to record the hit "M.O.E." ("Money Over Everything") which sparked an immediate buzz in South Florida. Ace began to perform and network which helped him gain exposure like never before. After fine-tuning his craft on local crowds, he set his sights on performing for DJ Khaled at his annual birthday bash.

"I got the name Ace as a child. My family always thought that I would be the one who would succeed in whatever I did," he explains. "I feel like I'm an army in myself. I carry my own weight and since I represent for the hood, why not attach that to my name?"

A year after his debut album "Gutta" and his Top 10 hit "Ride" Ace Hood continues his quest for hip hop greatness. "Ruthless" marks the return of Ace Hood with the new explosive single "Overtime" featuring Akon and T Pain.

Executive Produced by DJ Khaled and co-executive produced by The Runners, "Ruthless" promises to show the growth and trials Ace has experienced since his debut album thrust him onto the rap world.

Featured guest appearances on the album include Jasmine Sullivan, The Dream, Ludacris, Rick Ross, Birdman and more!
