Frank Chapter 48: DOOM - Masta Ace Speaks About the MA DOOM Record

Brooklyn-born lyricist Masta Ace made his debut alongside Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap, and Craig G on the 1988 Juice Crew posse cut "The Symphony." Ace followed that appearance with his first full-length album, Take A Look Around in 1990, and two more LPs before 2001's Disposable Arts, which is widely regarded as a hip-hop masterpiece.

Known for crafting cohesive, thematic albums, Masta Ace is about to release the much anticipated MA DOOM: Son of Yvonne, featuring production exclusively by DOOM. We spoke to Ace about what inspired the collaboration, what we can expect from it, what it was like working with Metal Fingers.
