About Me


Transformations / Illuminations
album now available on iTunes
In 1994, Mumbles met Aceyalone through an A&R of Grand Royal Records, and together they recorded three tracks, two of which appeared on Acey's first solo release All Balls Don't Bounce on Capitol Records. In 1998, Aceyalone and Mumbles then decided to collaborate on a full length album together, A Book of Human Language, which has since been widely acclaimed as an underground hip-hop classic.
Nearly a decade after their initial collaboration, Mumbles & Aceyalone re-unite to bring the power to the people! The upcoming full-length titled Transformations / Illuminations, is eagerly expected by hip-hop fans. Filled with lush arrangements, solid production, and the classic boom bap, Mumbles delivers a future classic that will set new standards in hip hop. Additional album features include: Cut Chemist, The Fowler Brothers, DJ Marvski, Flora Purim, Blu, Tracy McMillan, Kamau Daaood, Luther Russell, Rebecca Klinemann, and Shanti Shivani.
