The last MC of the Juice Crew to obtain a solo album, in 1990 Duval "Master Ace" Clear debuted with a record entirely produced by Marley Marl. The historical producer provides simple, funky and effective boom baps following his proven formula, while the rapper pulls down braggadocio lyrics with some socio conscious variation in one of his most easygoing and fun efforts. Coherent, simple and fairly solid album, Master Ace delivers its bars with a good varied flow and good metric schemes, the project flows easily even without presenting banger or classics: in "Me and the Biz" (song then finished on the FM Playback of San Andreas), the rapper also makes the character of Biz Markie, who had not been able to reach him in the studio for the collaboration.
Highlights: "Music Man", "Me and the Biz", "Postin' High", "As I Reminisce".
Rating: 7.8/10.
