In this new entry in our ‘Diamonds In The Rough’ category, we would like to introduce you to upcoming artist Inventor Ace and the early premiere of his brand new single titled “LGH” featuring Loon!.
Inventor Ace is kicking off 2025 with a bang, dropping his highly anticipated new single, “LGH” (Let’s Get High), on January 27th. Featuring longtime collaborator and audio engineer Loon!, the track promises to deliver a laid-back, throwback stoner hip-hop vibe that’ll have listeners vibing out from the first beat.
Rooted in a smooth, vintage sound, “LGH” came to life in an organic and spontaneous way. Ace recalls the pivotal moment when he stumbled upon the perfect beat during a call with his trusted producer, Columbus, Ohio-based Matthew Monroe. “It had this relaxing, nostalgic vibe that immediately clicked,” he says. From there, the journey to creating “LGH” took shape at The Underground Lounge, Ace’s go-to studio, where he and Loon! built the track into a free-spirited stoner anthem.
A Blend of Nostalgia and Creativity
For Ace, “LGH” is more than just a song; it’s a celebration of musical influences that have shaped his artistry. “Growing up, my dad introduced me to everything—from Mary J. Blige and OutKast to Steely Dan and the Gypsy Kings,” Ace shares. “Later on, I discovered 90s hip-hop, Wiz Khalifa, Kid Cudi, and Mac Miller (R.I.P.), all of which inspired me to create a stoner track like this.”
“LGH” is a lighthearted, carefree jam that invites listeners to embrace the vibe with an open mind. The combination of Ace’s clever lyricism, Loon!’s smooth vocals, and Monroe’s vintage-inspired production creates a sound that’s both nostalgic and refreshing.
Inventor Ace: From Baseball to Hip-Hop Visionary
Inventor Ace’s journey to the mic is as unique as his music. Once a Division 1 baseball athlete, the pandemic led him to pivot toward his true passion—music. Since then, he’s been making waves, blending influences from Southern hip-hop, lo-fi rap, jazz, and trap into his signature sound.
Based in New Jersey, Ace broke onto the scene in late 2024 with his debut single “Surf!” which racked up over 80,000 streams. Follow-up tracks like “Caesar” and “Lansky” further solidified his presence in the indie hip-hop world. With plans for more single releases and a summer EP in 2025, Ace is poised for a breakout year.
A Vision for 2025
“LGH” sets the tone for what’s to come from Inventor Ace—a year filled with soulful, genre-defying music that resonates with fans from all walks of life. “This track is just about creating a vibe, something people can connect to and enjoy,” Ace says.
Produced by Matthew Monroe, engineered by Loon!, and performed by both Ace and Loon!, “LGH” is more than a single—it’s a statement. A testament to Ace’s creativity, versatility, and passion for music that speaks to the soul.
