Rather than bitch and moan about the yesteryears, it seems like several veterans are taking matters into their own hands- or rather taking it to the MIC. Enter A & E, a musical merger between Masta Ace and Edo. G. According to Edo. G, “…this is the culmination of two legendary artists getting together for the right reason—to make a great album. We did not get together for the money, we got together to give fans the best LP of 2009. Ace and I are still at the top of our game lyrically and musically.” As a member of the Juice Crew, Masta Ace was a part of what is generally considered the first posse cut, The Symphony; he would eventually develop a solo career that spawned several classics including Sitting on Chrome and Slaughtahouse. Likewise, Edo’s career has forged several classics which undoubtedly have earned him the title as Godfather of Boston hip-hop; to date, Edo’s Life of a Kid in the Ghetto, is the only rap release to ever achieve gold status out of the city of Roxbury. Collaborative projects are nothing new to this duo as both Masta Ace and Edo. G are part of larger collectives namely EMC and Special Teamz respectively. Their new LP Arts & Entertainment will be released nationally on 10-06-09 and features appearances by Large Pro, KRS-One and production from M-phazes, DJ Spinna to name a few.
