Some of you may remember the article I did on the 17 year old Ace Henderson when I first discovered who he was as an artist a couple of months ago in Raleigh, NC at the ShakeDown Street. I recently got an exclusive interview on him and he is very legal by the way (ladies, don't be so quick to jump). Ace dropped another HOTT mix tape about a month ago entitled #REFUNDCHECK. Be on the lookout for his upcoming project "Freshman 15", dropping this weekend April 15th, 2012. As he answered the phone in laughter, I got to catch up with the upcoming, talented, young artist Mr. Ace Henderson. He has a lot of new projects coming up and his insight of what he thinks on music intrigued me. Some things that caught me by surprise were his ideas on what the art of "Hip Hop" is and who his favorite artist are...

On his inspiration for #RefundCheck and Senioritis...
I have a whole kind of movement going called 'high school famous' and everything with that is basically like school related since I'm basically graduating high shool I'm just going to keep it going to the kinds of things that are going on in college. #RefundCheck is basically a coming out party. Senioritis I did late last year...It was a preview to kind of give people of what is to come...
On the message and content Ace wants to get out with his music...
I don't want to influence anyone to do something there not comfortable with. Since I'm only 18, I can't rap about flashy cars and having big houses and throwing crazy parties because I've never done that before, so I feel like I'll be cheating myself and other people that are originating good music without trying to portray this image of some rappers. My basic opinion shows that not every rapper is the same and its cool to be you. You don't have to put on a front for anyone. What you get out of my songs is what I'm feeling that day...
On his upcoming projects...
I do have a video with headgraphix coming out with green goblin off of Senioritis. I'm working on a new EP with probably 5 or 6 songs, it will be called Freshman 15...
