Hip hop star Ace Hood to headline Youth Extravaganza for Carnival 2013.

acehoodposter02042013PHILIPSBURG:--- The Youth Extravaganza for Carnival 2013 just got a little bigger. Already one of Carnival's largest local nights, the event will be headlined by hip hop star Ace Hood for Carnival 2013.

The format of the Youth Extravaganza will include local youth showcasing their various talents followed by Ace Hood who will close off the night performing hits like Hustle Hard and his latest single Bugatti which is tearing up the Hip Hop charts.

The promoter and SCDf will announce ticket prices and promo specials later this week. Both parties are excited about putting one of the up and coming hip hop stars on stage for Carnival.

Born Antoine McColister in Port St. Lucie, Florida, Ace Hood was raised by his mother in Deerfield Beach, twenty miles north of Miami. Rap music became his full-time obsession after he suffered a football injury in the tenth grade, effectively putting the kibosh on any professional sports career.

By age 17, he was recording tracks for local imprint Dollaz & Dealz and had a few street singles put out. In November of the following year, Ace maneuvered his way into meeting DJ Khaled at local radio station 99 Jamz and handed the Miami mixtape DJ his demo.

Within a matter of weeks, DJ Khaled signed Ace, then 19 years old, as the first artist to his newly formed We the Best Music, which obtained distribution through Def Jam a few weeks after that. Ace's Def Jam debut single, the Runners-produced "Cash Flow," featuring Rick Ross and ubiquitous hook singer T-Pain, arrived in early 2008 and turned out to be a smash hit on South Florida radio.

A few mixtapes and guest appearances later, he released his first full-length, Gutta, in summer 2008. Ruthless followed the next year and, like its predecessor, peaked at number five on Billboard's R&B albums chart. Two years would pass before the ambitious Blood Sweat & Tears arrived, featuring some of Hood's best work to date.
