Hometown Sounds

Gaithersburg, MD rapper Ace Cosgrove assuredly found his style on his most recent mixtape Baby Need Food. The production by Robbie Anthem imparts the lush sound of a full band, which Cosgrove excellently translated live with a large group of musicians at his breakout performance at last year’s Landmark Music Festival. The mixtape’s first music video, “Baby Need Clothes”, directed by Perry, pairs Cosgrove’s lyrics about living life positively with visuals of quality father-daughter bonding over Vietnamese noodles and shopping. It’s an intensely personal music video showcasing Cosgrove’s maturity that bodes well for his continued rise.
