Aceyalone emerged as the godfather of the L.A. underground scene with his 1995 solo debut, 'All Balls Don't Bounce.' \n\nAceyalone is one of the greatest lyricists the West Coast has ever produced, twisting his fluid rhymes around and off the beat.... his subject matter goes beyond the battle rhymes that most mike virtuosos hone their technique with. He's cerebral and philosophical, yet bursting with confidence at the same time, which lends a definite sense of excitement to his literate wordplay. His lyrics aren't just long strings of ten-cent words -- they're an important part of the songs' rhythmic drive, and he knows when to leave empty space in his lines to keep the groove flowing smoothly. https://www.allmusic.com/album/all-balls-dont-bounce-mw0000645625 \n\nhttps://aceyalone.bandcamp.com/album/a-book-of-human-language"
