Masta Ace - Disposable Arts (Red Vinyl)

2LP Vinyl - MTR2177

Sometimes when an artist decides to call it quits, it gives them the freedom and energy to make their final statement one of their best. Such is the case with Duval “Masta Ace” Clear, who, after a bit of a five-year hiatus, decided that he wanted to go out with a bang on his fourth album, Disposable Arts. Released 20 years ago through JCOR Records, it’s one of the cleverest concept albums ever released, documenting Ace’s experience in the streets of Brooklyn and as a student in the fictional Institute of Disposable Arts. 

Ace has said Disposable Arts is his favorite and personally most important album in his catalogue. He put the record out with “no expectations” of its success or impact. “I just wanted to make a record that didn’t have any label influence, nobody in my ear… just the record I wanted to do,” he said in an interview with BlackoutTV. The result is a project in which Ace honors the era that raised him, while making more timeless music of his own.
