Indie Artist Spotlight

 

Artist: Call Me Ace

 

Track:  FIRST GEN ANTHEM

 

This highly gifted, multi-faceted artist lives a double life. By day, he works in Silicon Valley; by night, he transforms into the prolific Bay Area rapper Call Me Ace. In both roles, he’s a total boss, working diligently to uplift disenfranchised communities, spread positive vibes, and celebrate culture. If your parents are not from the country you live in now, “FIRST GEN ANTHEM” is your theme song. When your home is a second nation, there’s a certain way you have to navigate life: one where every step you take is the epitome of “innovation.”
