Aace1k & Big Homiie Repair A Father-Son Bond On “Boy 2 A Man”
It’s hard to keep up with the abundant output of Aace1k, but we got to start somewhere in 2023 so we might as well begin with the sentimental music video for “Boy 2 A Man” from the beginning of the year.
A standout track from his 2022 album Road 2 Fame, “Boy 2 A Man” is a vulnerable look at a tense, uneven paternal relationship with all the joy and pain that follow. Around a snapping beat and patient melody, Aace1k opens his heart up alongside Big Homiie, splitting the song to offer insight into each’s unique, tense perspective. The video, directed by Alpha Lion Productions, frames the video as a vulnerable conversation between father and son where the two are seated next to each other, sometimes avoiding eye contact while they relive their struggles and slights before embracing in a touching reconciliation at the end.
As we mentioned already, Aace1k stays busy with his musical releases. Just looking at new music from this year, the MC put out the “Venting To The Beat” single in April which was directly followed by the 18-track album Life Of A Menace. The “Better Life” single followed at the top of this month and most recently, he released the seven-track EP Legends Never Die. This is not even talking about his other recent music videos, which we’ll be talking about here soon, so, yeah… Aace1k is giving us plenty to talk about this year.
