Interview Guest: DJ Ace The Cut Lieutenant.
DJ Ace The Cut Lieutenant, born Acu Rhodes, has made significant contributions to the hip-hop community, seamlessly blending his passion for music with his commitment to public service. Starting his DJ journey at the age of 10 in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, he honed his skills on his mother's stereo turntable, emulating the hip-hop sounds he heard on the radio.
This early dedication laid the foundation for a career that would see him become a respected figure in the hip-hop scene. Beyond his musical endeavours, DJ Ace previously served in the United States Marine Corps (USMC) and as a Lieutenant in the New York Police Department (NYPD), using his platform to bridge the gap between the military, law enforcement and the community.
His performances, such as the "Hip Hop in Blue" initiative, showcase his scratching and DJing skills while promoting positive police-community relations. His unique position has garnered attention from hip-hop legends, including LL Cool J, highlighting the impact of his dual roles.
DJ Ace's influence extends to social media, where his performances have captivated audiences. A TikTok video showcasing his turntable skills has amassed over 56,000 likes, reflecting his ability to connect with both classic hip-hop enthusiasts and new generations.
His dedication to the culture is further exemplified through his music releases, including the single "This Is Hip Hop 5 Oh!" produced by Kane on the Track, available on his official website. In addition to his musical and community efforts, DJ Ace has been featured on platforms like Funkmaster Flex's "5 Minutes of Funk," where he demonstrated his exceptional DJing skills.
His commitment to hip-hop culture and his innovative approach to blending his roles as a DJ and police officer inspired and influenced the community positively. He retired as an NYPD officer last year and has now become more engaged in the hip-hop community.
Mixtape Addict 29 kicks off with DJ King Flow dropping a trilogy of raw cuts that merge Boom Bap grit with scratch-heavy precision. His blend of turntablism and street-ready flows sets the tone before shifting into Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre's G-Funk revival, including the coast-bridging collaboration Skyscrapers featuring Method Man.
TM NYC and Jus' One maintain the underground intensity with spiritually and lyrically conscious tracks like As The Lord Think It and Gawd Emcee. The energy rises with Busta Rhymes’ explosive Unleash Me, followed by Goretex’s dark lyrical dive on Massive Stress. PS The Great’s What’s Real and Plex Long’s Sleepless pull back with sobering reflections.
As the set deepens, East Coast vibes dominate through tracks like Win Or Lose by DJ King Flow & Imam T.H.U.G, Chaundon’s Listen, and Beautiful Lies from Lex Lakaiser, Sadat X & Maddog McGraw. These selections bring political and emotional depth, with themes of survival, deception, and social awareness.
The episode concludes with a run of classics and lyrical craftsmanship, Jay-Z’s Dead Presidents, Nas’s The World Is Yours, and Evidence’s 10,000 Hours. Mos Def’s uplifting A Brighter Day and Mobb Deep’s haunting Temperature’s Rising (Remix) close out the music portion.
