Ace D.O.G

Born and raised in San Francisco, CA, ACE D.O.G credits his mother with having the foresight and the courage to take the action that saved his life. When his father abandoned the family, the gang-ridden streets of San Francisco became all too familiar. "School was too risky," ACE D.O.G explains. His crew dropped out and his posse began to pursue pastimes that lead them closer and closer to the danger that would eventually snuff out the lives of two of his homies. Witnessing the murder of a friend was the critical turning point. In a miraculous rescue, ACE D.O.G's mother moved her children to Fremont, California where even a sullen, aimless, skeptic, such as ACE D.O.G had already become, might have a chance to reinvent himself and thrive. And that is just what he did.

When secular rapping began to lose its flavor, ACE D.O.G became a member of an early Christian rap group, Disciples of God. Through the same earth angel, Carolyn, he met Airick. Along with intensive Bible studies, he earned his GED; and, his life took on the new direction that has made his mother proud. "Rappin for the Lord," ACE D.O.G reaches youth who's on the brink of despair and self-destruction themselves - are primed to hear the clarion call of a new message in the tone, tempo and format that has become a multi-billion dollar, international phenomenon: rap.

ACE D.O.G and his partner, ANC, are pioneers on a spiritual adventure and they won't be satisfied until the service of deliverance and redemption of youth is complete. Young, passionate and fiercely dedicated to his calling, ACE D.O.G is now a witness for the healing grace of the living Christ, without which his very life might by now have become no more than a sorrowful memory for his loved ones. When you've come that close to extinction, you have learned some lessons and the purity of your music stirs the soul. And so it is with the Christian rapper, ACE D.O.G.

“Someone Out There”

Sometimes I wonder is somebody out there hearing me, listening to tha cry// And persuading me to tha question asking why// Wishing if only I had the answer, we laid so many to rest// They come and gone like in tha breeze till there’s nobody left// Tha pain in my chest is realer than your last meal// And if you felt like giving up then you can understand tha way I feel// Dreams shatter like smoke and mirrors illusion// So what made her settle for drugs and prostitution// Living but dieing inside, struggling trying to make it to the sunrise// Depression is a weapon when seeing it through tha devil’s eyes// Slipping and falling I’m calling help me get out this mess// Tossing and turning I’m grieving all I’m breathing is stress// Never forsake me said you’d meet my needs// And trying to stretch 5 dollars just to feed my seed// Or should I, Empty tha clip and maybe make it all better// So if your out there and your listening I need you more than ever//
