Masta Ace's New Hip-Hop Musical 'The Falling Season' Receives Early Praise

Published Mon, June 5, 2023 at 1:30 PM EDT

Hip-Hop legend Masta Ace has added successful playwright to his lengthy resume, with the execution of his Hip-Hop musical, The Falling Season.

Rock The Bells was on hand to view the production, which was produced in conjunction with theater collective, Rhymes Over Beats. The musical production draws inspiration from three of his albums Disposable Arts, A Long Hot Summer and The Falling Season, and stars battle rapper Duchess, rapper NEMS, Calvin Thompson, Angella Katherine, wife Leschea and Jeremiah Packer.

Masta Ace, already considered to be a master storyteller, previously spoke to Rock The Bells while the musical was in its early stages. "When you're writing a musical, you have to stay within the storyline," he said. "You can't put lines in there that have nothing to do with anything. Everything has to be there for a purpose."
