EASTSIDE SUMMER out now: https://lnk.to/EastsideSummer

Jace’s phone number might have an Atlanta area code, but his sound is untraceable. You might recognize him from the collective, Two-9, but it’s crucial to throw away all prior conceptions. His psychedelic solo palette stretches far beyond region, genre, or previous crew. He’s as versatile as a Swiss Army knife and equally incisive.“I feel like I’m a combination of all different sub-genres people listen to right now,” Jace says. “I can do trap-related, emotional, autobiographical, everything people want to hear.” 

On his first full solo offering, The Jace Tape, he incorporated the entirety of his eclectic streak—that Southern swing, the gritty lyricism of his native New Yorker, and his own emotional vulnerability. It starts with him talking about trying to figure out where he wants to go. It ends with you wondering where he’s going to go next. “I felt like I needed to step away and go out on my own,” Jace says. “Two-9 has its own sound and collective mind. My music is a bit more moody and melodic.” Jace captures the feelings of being trapped and finding your freedom , and reconciling the difficulties of trust. He explores the parts of his past and the pieces of his psyche that other artists might shy away from—balancing it with an unhinged party streak. 

Jace has established himself through Two-9, the duo RetroSushi, and song collaborations like RaeSremmurd’s “Unlock the Swag” and “This Could Be Us”. For the last few years Jace has disrupted the industry as a shining writer signed to Sony ATV producing hits like Kash Doll’s “ Ice Me Out” and Glitter Gloss’s “Rich Baby Mama” but his journey as a solo artist doesn’t stop there. Now, Jace is dropping his long awaited EP Eastside Summer. An ode to his side of town and the special feeling that seems intrinsically attached to the season of summer. EASTSIDE SUMMER attempts to encapsulate the energy and vibe of what it's like on Atlanta's east end of the city. A side of town steeped in its own culture and style. Whether it's large Caribbean community or its long and storied history in the underground rap scene going back as far as 2004. With songs like "EA freestyle" and "Yea Bitch" standing to embody the sound and emotions of everything that lies on Interstate 20 East. Short and intense like most summers are, EASTSIDE SUMMER is a brief and whirlwind walk through of what it's like during the scorching months in America's hip hop capital.
