Mellow Man Ace
Biography
Mellow Man Ace is a Cuban-American rapper whose music blends hip hop with bilingual delivery and a fondness for novelty rhymes. Born Ulpiano Sergio Reyes in Pinar del Río, Cuba, he moved with his family to Los Angeles at the age of four and grew up in South Gate, California. His debut album, Escape from Havana, arrived in 1989 with production from the Dust Brothers and Def Jef, and the 1990 single Mentirosa became his only hit, reaching Number 14 on Billboard's Hot 100. Later albums included The Brother with Two Tongues, From the Darkness into the Light, Vengo a Cobrar and, in 2006, Ghetto Therapy, a collaboration with Sen Dog of Cypress Hill, followed by Restoring Order and the 2018 single South Gate. He was also a founding member of Cypress Hill and took part in the Latin Alliance project.
