Trust the Process

After rising to fame as the flagship artist of DJ Khaled’s We The Best Music Group, Ace Hood parted ways with the label in 2016 to pursue his own rap muse. On *Trust the Process*, the Florida prodigy steps out on his own, with melancholy confessions of gratitude like “To Whom It May Concern” standing next to atmospheric trunk-rattlers like “The Bottom,” illustrating once again Hood’s ability to sound both braggadocious and humble in the same breath.
