What do you call someone who grew up in tough neighborhoods in Brooklyn, rose through the ranks of the NYPD with empathy and grit,Ā andĀ rocks the turntables like a pro? You call him DJ ACE the Cut Lieutenant.

He’s got one of the dopest sounds I’ve ever heard, and he's the man who helped meĀ revamp theĀ ReppinĀ theme songĀ into what you hear today.

ACE takes us through his life growing up inĀ Brooklyn Bed-Stuy during one of NYC’s most dangerous chapters, navigating the complexities of beingĀ Black and blue, and finding purpose throughĀ music, mentorship, and service.

  • Life lessons from his parents that helped himĀ survive and thrive

  • Behind-the-scenes ofĀ being a cop in NYC — fromĀ partner dynamicsĀ toĀ EDP calls

  • HisĀ lifelong love of DJing, and how it became a bridge toĀ community connection
