Born Too Fly (Full Album)

The Strip

Henny Chronicles

I had to do this again to give those that love a Southern sound with a song so chill. I could see Southern artists wanting to possibly get on a track like this for a big collaboration. Since I have Southern roots, I wanted to embrace that since it's a part of who I am. Get your sound systems ready to bump if you have a big body old school car. If you have a smaller car with a stock system, I still want you to crank up the volume to enjoy this beat & get hype while relaxing at the same dang time,lol!

Young Nation-Southern Remix by Ace Roxwell

As '80s babies who've grown up in the '90s, you've probably heard your parents bumping this around town or at your cookouts & block parties. My dad had my sister & I listening to music like this growing up & then when I realized what it meant to be chill, I was able to roll with something like this. Much love goes out to Roger & Zapp for this song & an influence that still inspires today. R.I.P. Roger Troutman

More Bounce To The Ounce-Remix By Ace Roxwell

Just when I thought about taking a break, I thought about something that could give me that energy to keep going. And then I listened to Carl Orff's Carmina Burana O Fortuna & the wheels spun. I'm thankful for you all supporting me & appreciating what I do to create new music. Feel free to leave some feedback. In the meanwhile, enjoy! :D

Carmina Burana O Fortuna Remix By Ace Roxwell

Here's something for that trip down memory lane.

No Promises

Imagine the time.  It's 1984 & you've seen noticed a shift in your neighborhood.  It's gone from being peaceful to having people asking you if you're holding.  Not weed.  Not powdered cocaine.  But crack.  Stuff steadily turned upside down smack dab in the middle of what you know is your world.  Welcome to the Crack Era.

Pyrex Rock

It's '85 & you're seeing what is hope in a vial.  It's a false 10-15 minute escape that really began shattering lives left and right as it started to spread from the west towards the east.

Vial Promises

It's '86 & America's been long ensnared in its hot button topic, "The War
on Drugs".  Crack exploded & most major cities started seeing it come in like a tidal wave, families are being further fractured due to newest, most controversial to date Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986, & many of us were either already born or being born around this time.  Love still got us here & through it.

Lovin' Me

The crack epidemic was in full swing & gripped the country as it was flooded with cocaine.  As it destroyed our neighborhoods, we were exhausting all of our efforts to stay together.

Stay

It's '88 & it seems like everyone is connected with a plug.  The hammer's coming down, so the rush to the money is blinding.  Networks are fully up & booming.  The market is set.  People are paying the price.

Connected

Here we are in '89 & we're on the verge of a new era.  Technology is advancing at a wild clip & keeping with it is greed.

Turn Of A Decade

1990's here & the stakes have never been higher entering into a new age.

Rule By Homicide (RBH)

'91 & everything is on 11 as the nation is on fire.  When will the bloodshed end?

Blood Wave

For many of us, we saw where the pieces were getting picked up.  But we were left reeling from gang violence & overpolicing.  There was still hope left as we were a generation raised up to rise & overcome to be better.  I would love to say that we have as we've done the best we could to beat the odds as we stand tall today beating The Crack Era.

Just relax & let your mind, body, & soul dwell in this sonic elixir.

Passion

This song from Aaliyah is the first song I ever sampled. "Young Nation" to me, was one of the best song off of her first album as I thought it was in tune with the times and it took me back to that time when it was cool to be smooth. I was only a kid in '94, but I certainly feel that this song's vibe embodies who I am and it stuck. After a full year of working with this song, I'm finally letting the creative leash go as I feel that it's complete now. Relax and enjoy a chill joint to ride to.


Young Nation-Remix

Burn

Possibly the last one.  Only time will tell.

I.C.L.Y.

Back at it with another one!!!  For the couples, for those who want to be couples, for the boo things even, lol. Whatever you are, it's for you.  :)

Me & You Alone

That exhilarating feeling of great joy & excitement.  Bliss.

Ecstasy

I had to work on "Ride Of The Valkyries" by Richard Wagner. This has intrigued me since I heard it in its entirety in Music Theory.

Love You So Crazy

Had to say goodbye to a lot of things, people, & places to appreciate where I am now.

Don't Rush

Sample of Lisa Keith, Herb Alpert, and Janet Jackson's "Making Love In The Rain." I absolutely loved working with this piece.
