Aceyalone - All Balls Don't Bounce

Aceyalone has always been one of the dopest MC's hailing from the west coast since the early days of this release and the Freestyle Fellowship and Good Life Cafe days. This is a reissue of "All Balls Don't Bounce" which is some of Acey the Faceman's best material. I don't like throwing the word "classic" around, but with the track "Mic Check," it's definitely a Hip Hop Classic. There's a lot of other dope tracks on here, like "All Balls." The original version and remix of "Headaches and Woes" is sick, as Aceylone's skilled wordplay is highlighted on here. Abstract Rude and Aceylone show why the A-Team works on tracks like "Deep and Wide" where they flow and bounce off each other's energy to make this track work. Aceylone has always been one of my favorite MC's, and I was real dissapointed with his latest release, so this is nice because this is just some dope Hip Hop from one of Hip Hop's most underrated MC's.
