Ace Drew aka Swol Belly
Ace Drew aka Swol Belly one of three (Bugs, AEV, Ace Drew) of the hip hop group Muddy Waterz adventure off to experiment on creating a sound to incorperate in the group. For awhile rapping was the only thing that occupied his mine but now production is slowly but surely becoming a new focus. For years Ace watch his long time partner AEV make blazin beats to the point where Ace got inspired to do his thing. Since each member of the group is in diffrent location all members feel its right to build skillz, meet up when the time is right and then show the world what's hip hop about.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Muddy Waterz is a group of emcees who met in school back in the mid 90's. ace drew, bugs, and aev have come along way since rhymin' at parties, flowin' over old instrumentals, and casio keyboard beats. many a track has been dropped by the trio, however, due to the fact that they no longer live near each other, an album remains to be dropped. ace drew is currently serving in the navy and can honestly say he's rocked mics around the world. while ace is stationed in virginia, he still makes it down to texas every now and then to drop some heat. bugs, a bronx new york native, is currently living in corpus christi, but is hard at work writing and ready to get up in the studio. aev lives in port lavaca, where he continues to hook up tracks with help from his cousin dj encore(of victoria) and the inner ear click. no doubt the time will come when these three will finally come together and hit the people off with what they've been waitin' for. you know, classic dopeness.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Would love to someday....I'm just really getting started. I'm what you call a fast learner.
