Synopsis

Product Description

Asked about what to expect from this collaboration with Edo G, Masta
Ace fires back without hesitation; "people are gonna be surprised when
they hear the mixture of styles. We both have a different approach. It's
like the old Reeses commercial... Ya got peanut butter walking down the
street. Coming from the other direction is chocolate. Someone trips and
blam, a peanut butter cup was born. Something new and amazing was
created that no one had ever thought of!"
When one thinks of Boston and New York the first thing that comes to
mind is the infamous Red Sox/Yankees rivalry. But this time when
Boston meets New York it's a collaborative effort to bring the world one
of the tightest Hip Hop efforts of 2009. Two of the games most exceptionally
creative and well-rounded artists, Edo. G and Masta Ace bring
the two cities together with Arts & Entertainment. Like their home cities,
these artists have a long history and have influenced the world.
Hailing from Brownsville, Brooklyn, Masta Ace got his proper introduction
setting off the quintessential Hip Hop posse cut, "The Symphony."
Not long after, Edo G's debut Life Of A Kid In The Ghetto and its lead
single "I Got To Have It" went to the top of the Billboard Rap Singles
chart with heavy rotation on Yo! MTV Raps. Both Ace and Ed have
continued to stay relevant, tour the globe, and influence up and coming
artists everywhere. Joining the duo on Arts & Entertainment is a notable list of featured artists from NYC and the Bean including Posdanus
of De La Soul, Large Professor, DJ Spinna, KRS-One, Mr. Lif,
Akrobatik and Chester French. Production from Double O of Kidz in
the Hall, M Phases, DJ Supreme One amd Frank Dukes round out
this collabo from two mighty Hip Hop icons.

CD Reviews

More great music from Edo and Ace

Frank Eason | Miami, FL USA | 11/17/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This collaboration seems like it has been a long time in the making. Masta Ace and Edo.G are two kindred spirits in the Hip Hop world. Both came up during the same time, during the later stages of the Hip Hop Golden Era.

They have done one song team ups before; but the full length album was worth the wait.

Not overly long or full of too much filler. This album has a few skits but mainly hits you with track upon track of classic old school vibe; rock the mic, skills and talent.

The album has a few guest stars, namely KRS-One, with Large Professor and Pasdanus. However, this CD is mainly about Edo and Ace. They both show they are still as potent on the MIC as ever. Illustrating the cuts with wordplay that's both witty, and especially for Edo, that's personal as well. It's always enlightening to hear an artist open up and not just speak about the material trappings that come with being famous.

1. Hands High = Great into cut setting the stage nicely.

2. A's & E's feat. Marsha Ambrosias = Another great cut. Marsha Ambrosious provides a lighter vibe which works well.

3. Fans feat. Large Professor = Great to see Large Pro back on wax. Makes for a good 3 man posse cut.

4. Little Young = Very witty, very true look at the name game in hip hop.

5. Ei8ht Is Enuff = Nice track, good back and forth wordplay between Edo and Ace.

6. Good Music feat. Posdanus = Always the best lyricist of De la Sol, Nus doesn't miss a beat on this cut. Another great posse track.

7. We Want It All feat. Mr. Lif = More home grown Boston. Mr. Lif grabs the mic and keeps things moving.

8. Authentic = Starts out with a snippet of Spoken Word and then moves onto the tract. Nice beat and works well.

9. Pass The Mic feat. KRS-One = The Blast Master on the cut! What more needs be said? Great track from beginning to end. Nice old school feeling beat too.

10. Round And Round = Nice cut detailing life in travel.

11. Whoomp = Nice beat, great lyrics.

12. Reminds Me = Awesome track. Edo and Ace get personal and open up on this cut. Not all is bubbly in the rap game and it's nice to hear some much needed reality.

13. Here I Go = Edo And Ace, with mics in hand.

14. Dancing Like a W.G. = Could be the commercial hit of the CD. Funny, funny track, good beat and the hook is real catchy.

"Nice cd by EdOG and Masta Ace. Have always been an Ace fan and adding EdOG was a nice touch. My favorite is Eight is Enough. If you're into old school hip-hop, I definitely suggest that you buy it."
