Ace Hood‘s name has heavily reemerged in the Hip Hop game over the last several months creating singles that are flooding clubs and radio alike.

The Miami native recently sat down with Power 99 Philly’s Mina SayWhat to talk about his upcoming album Trails & Tribulations. During the interview, Ace explains the meaning of the title and why he displays so much passion in his music.  

“I felt like for me to actually get people to support this Trials & Tribulations album, that’s dropping July 16, like I needed them to understand what I’ve been through and really kind of visualize and see my trials and tribulations and understand where the passion come from, understand where the hunger come from,” Ace Hood said.

The “We The Best” label founder also spoke about his team including updates about DJ Khaled and his newest signee, Vado.

“Khaled’s amazing man, Khaled’s good man, he’s working on his new album Suffering From Success so he’s been real focused. I’m proud of Khaled man he’s been doing it for so long. He’s still creating and music is still fun for him and he loves it,” he said. “They working like crazy, actually Vado has new singles so it’s crazy.”
