Blak Ace, “Be committed, be consistent..”
by Brandon Smith

Local hip-hop artist “Blak Ace”, is all about the fans and all about the hustle in Vancouver. Always puttin’ it down for 604!

Born and raised in Vancouver, Ace recognizes that you really have to show love to get love and really tries to connect with the people in his hometown. With his most influential artists being the likes of Tupac Shakur, Notorious B.I.G., Master P and E-40, Ace understands that your fan base is all relative to how hard you work to gain exposure. The majority of Ace’s promotional work has been done on his own, after shows, and although admittedly not as often anymore, on any given day you may have noticed him on the corner of Robson and Burrard pushing his music and shaking hands with fans.

Knowing how much Ace loves Vancouver, I asked him what he thought of the opportunities provided here for up-and-coming artists.

“Vancouver is a city where it’s hard for a hip hop artist to strive but, if you are a rock and roll artist, Vancouver provides more opportunities. It’s definitely a harder market in Vancouver for hip hop artists.”-Blak Ace

Undaunted by the challenges that present themselves in this city, Ace’s perseverance has helped him to accomplish some of his short term goals and he has begun to make a name for himself.

1998 was when Ace started recording with his cousin, and formed the group “Da Congregation” or, “D.C.G.”. The group recorded a 4 track E.P., which was produced by Henri Brown, the great Jimmy Hendrix’s first cousin. That same year he booked his first major opening show with “Naughty by Nature”. It was at that point that he made his decision.

“That was pretty much when I kinda figured like, whoa, this is something that I definitely love, and something that I wanna pursue until the end of time.”
After that, Ace linked up with other artists to record two full length albums with two different groups, “TRUBLE” and “O.C.P.” or “Out Cold Playaz”. Potentially a workaholic, during this same time period, Ace managed to open for some very recognizable acts such as Destinys Child, Lost Boyz, K-Ci and JoJo, Yung Joc, Fabolous, Paul Wall, and The Clipse.

In Summer 2012, “Blak Ace” headed to Toronto where he performed several shows as part of his social media tour. Returning to Vancouver, Ace wasted no time getting back on-stage. September 2nd, he opened for E-40 and on December 18th, he opened up for Jadakiss. Both shows were at the Fortune Sound Club. 2012 also marked the release of his first solo album “HeavenzGates”, featuring talented singers Resa Candice and Amanda Maiden. (Amanda Maiden being the god daughter of Chaka Khan and daughter of bass player Rufus.) Not only performing whenever he can, but tirelessly promoting his new album during this time, shows that music is truly “Blak Ace’s” passion and he is ever great-full for all the local support he gets.

For the short term, Ace is all about promotions. He has not only his latest album release and clothing line, but he also has to focus on booking openers for reputable artists while continuing to expand his network with the just right people. Long term, “Blak Ace” would like to work on releasing another solo album. He is also looking to book a tour date as well as begin producing high quality videos for his music.


Ace understands that his music isn’t all considered commercial. Yet he has still managed to receive air-play on numerous radio stations including 100.5FM Co-Op Radio Vancouver and “The Beat” 94.5FM. Call in and request your favorite track off of “HeavenzGates”, “Blak Ace’s” new solo album.

To the up-and-coming artist?

“Be committed, be consistent, and work at it everyday. It’s the only way I have been able to find some success for myself. Just to continue to grind everyday and to try to keep your expectations realistic and your goals achievable.”

BLAK ACE OPENING FOR E40 AT

FORTUNE SOUND IN VANCOUVER

blakace-opening-for-e40

” BlakAce, one of E-40’s many local Vancouver openers, laid down the start of the show sporting mardi gras beads, animating the crowd with his steez and rowdy charm. The crowd murmured with hype for this West Coaster, rushing onto the dance floor as BlakAce spit hot flames and lit the crowd on fire. BlakAce was successful at getting the crowd riled up and bouncing before E-40 even hit the stage. ”

BLAK ACE’S ‘MY PASSION’ IS A HIP HOP TRACK THAT IS ABOUT MUSIC

Music about music is a tradition of popular culture. In hip hop, music about the musician is a high-risk, high-reward endeavor. To allow a look past your persona and be vulnerable can ruin your image as a badass, a gangsta, a force of nature or whatever deity Kanye West is sitting by the pool with. For Blak Ace, we’re treated to a reminder that inspirational messages tied into vulnerability can bring a greater sense of character in a powerful way. My Passion is a track that’s about music and the musician. The relationship between art and artist doesn’t have to be abstract. It doesn’t have to focus solely on struggles and sorrows. Black Ace finds that music is worth whatever it takes and is willing to give himself to it for the sake of the life music gives back. Moreover, this song encourages others.
