"THA VILL"

THE NEW RAP SENSATION BORN AND RAISED IN CHICAGO IS ON HIS WAY TO THE TOP! “THA VILL” CAME UP ON THE STREETS OF CHICAGO, THE SON OF A MURDERED FATHER, A SINGLE MOTHER AND THE CARE TAKER OF THREE YOUNGER BROTHERS. HE WAS FORCED TO BECOME HIS OWN MAN AND THE MAN OF THE HOUSE BEFORE HE REACHED HIS TEENS. IN NOVEMBER 2005, THA VILL RELEASED HIS FIRST ALBUM “WELCOME TO THE VILL” WHICH IS MORE THAN A MUSICAL EXPERIENCE, IT IS A JOURNEY INTO THE SOUL, PASSIONS AND IMAGINATION OF A MAN STAYING ABOVE HIS STRUGGLES THROUGH HIS GIFT OF MUSIC. THA VILL WHO IS VERY WELL KNOWN ON THE UNDERGROUND HIP HOP CIRCUIT HAS BEEN GETTING MAJOR ATTENTION OVER THE PAST YEAR. HE HAS GOTTEN NATIONAL RADIO PLAY WITH THREE SONGS OFF HIS ALBUM "WELCOME 2 THA VILL" RELEASED NOV. 2005 WITH PARTNERS UNDER HIS OWN LABEL, "FREE MAN RECORDS," AND THE RATINGS HAVE BEEN OFF THE CHARTS WITH A 9.0 OUT OF 10.0. WITH SUCH A POPULAR RESPONSE TO HIS MUSIC, THA VILL HAS ALREADY ESTABLISHED A SOLID FAN BASE ACROSS MOST OF THE US AND OVERSEAS. THA VILL HAS ALSO BECOME WELL KNOWN THROUGH HIS MUSIC WEBSITE ON MYSPACE, WHICH HAS GOTTEN OVER 70,000 PLAYS, AS WELL AS ON THE STREET SCENE WHERE HE HAS OPENED FOR MAJOR RECORDING ARTISTS ALL OVER THE WEST COAST. THA VILL CAN ALSO BE FOUND ON SEVERAL FAN WEBSITES, CREATED AND MAINTAINED BY LOYAL FANS, WHICH FURTHER PROMOTE HIS MUSIC AND IMAGE. HIS FANS ALSO CREATED A CHARTITY IN HIS NAME CALLED “KEEP THE FAITH” WHICH DONATES MONEY TO A YOUTH OUTREACH PROGRAM ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF CHICAGO.

THA VILL IS QUICKLY BECOMING THE “NEW SEX SYMBOL OF RAP” AND HE LIVES UP TO THIS IMAGE ON HIS CD AND LIVE PERFORMACES. MOST RECENTLY THA VILL HAS BEEN ON THE RED CARPET AND STAGE AT L.A.'S HOTTEST PRE B.E.T. AWARDS PARTIES. "THA VILL" ALSO HAS STREET TEAMS ESTABLISHED THRU OUT THE U.S. TO HELP PUSH HIS CD'S, T-SHIRTS, RING TONES, ETC. THIS HAS SPARKED INTEREST FROM MAJOR LABELS, HOTT PRODUCERS AND INDEPENDENTS. THA VILL IS GAINING NEW FANS EVERYDAY- ASK FOR HIM ON YOUR LOCAL RADIO STATIONS.

  • A Must-Have
    author: Ms Hyde

    Bought the CD to hear more of Ace Young, and came away pleasantly surprised. The entire CD is a perfect blend of rap, R & B, and pop. All soul! I'm so glad I purchased it. Ace is the perfect balance to the hard core edgy lyrics with his smooth tenor. I highly recommend it to all Ace Young fans who are looking for something a little new.

  • Love it!
    author: Denise

    Trying to type and dance at the same time. A new favorite for sure. Ace is so smooth, nice combo.

    author: Tina B.

    I really liked this CD. I originally bought it only because Ace had something to do with it, but I was pleasantly suprised by the lyrics and arrangements of all the songs. I would definitely purchase more music by Tha Villian.

  • Will buy more from CD Baby-exellant customer service

    Great CD. My first real intro to this music genre. Great collaborations on it. Listening to it all the time!

  • Fun songs that stay with you. Love it.
    author: Brooke

    Like others, I ordered this CD because I am an Ace Young fan. I'm happy to report that I love all the songs - I have uploaded them onto my PC, and they are on heavy rotation on my iPod. Fun songs that stick with you. I would definitely buy another CD by Tha Villian. I also received EXCELLENT customer service - above and beyond the call - from CD Baby. Will always buy from them.

  • I LOVE THE SONGS && ACE YOUNG
    author: Janice Folk

    I have been an Ace fan since his audition on American Idol, I love him && I heard about this cd through some websites for him && I just had to listen to them && I love it! You guys sound great together && the songs are really good, I think I'm definitely gonna have to get a copy of it. :)

  • author: WendyD

    I have to say i was surprised at the number of songs on this CD i have fallen in love with. My favorites are So Fly and Shut it Down. I just know those two will be getting all kinds of airplay soon. Great job and i really can't wait to hear what you guys come up with next. I really hope you and Ace can work together some more. Its great for us fans so hear a different side of him. Highrollers love you both!

  • Not usually a rap fan, but I love this CD!!
    author: Darlene

    OK, this kind of rap works for me!! Found it cause I love ACE, but you guys are Hot together!! My 17 year old took it from me already!! (and he had been teasing me about my "ACE" thing...after hearing him with The Villian he now thinks he is pretty cool too!) Great CD...Keep it up!!

  • HOT HOT HOT!!! Love the CD!!!
    author: Jen

    LOVE this CD!! Great beats, fab raps and amazing vocals by Ace! HUGE Ace Young fan here, but Vil you definitely are a talented hip hop artist too! Great collaboration with Ace! We need to spread the word about these two talented artists, so many songs are hit worthy! Vil, you and Ace are going to be big stars- the Highrollers are takin' him to the TOP of American Idol!! Love y'all!!

  • Loving this cd, I would highly recommend it to ALL of my friends!!
    author: Rena'

    This cd is a very good blend of r & b and hip hop that I, personally, am a fan of. I'm surprise that that a lot of the radio stations in my area (Maryland) have not pick up on this cd, especially the track, So Fly, it's definitly a track that I could see doing very well on the r&b/hiphop charts. Keep up the good work guys, y'all have a new fan in me!

  • AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!!
    author: Lesley

    Rap is not my usual type of music, but this cd is amazing! Highly recommended to all!

  • Love it
    author: Cat

    Also a huge Ace Young fan which spurred me to try the album. Love it. Especially the music, rap & flow on "Shut It Down" - that song and "So Fly" in heavy rotation. Sorry Vill that so many reviews are all about Ace - We Love Him Love Him Love Him but u are very talented too! Glad to have been introduced to your music/this CD thru AI boards. Looking forward to your next collaboration with Ace; I will buy it.

  • author: Katie

    I heard about this CD from an Ace Young fan site. I'm a fan of his but I listened to some of the songs on this CD and I just loved it!

  • author: danette

    I heard about this cd through the American Idol website-message boards and I listen to the samples on this website and decided I had to have it!THA VILLIAN is a very talented hip-hop artist! I hope this cd is very sucessful for him and it's a added bonus having Ace Young on this your cd, he is also very talented and gifted artist, continued success to you both!

  • author: Kim

    I am a HUGE Ace Young fan and I heard that he was featured on some of your songs so I listened to the clips and decided I just had to have the CD!

  • author: Anne-Marie

    American Idol - Ace Young natch, then got turned onto Thavillian's record... bowled over by Ace's and Thavillian's talent, passion and soul. It touches me to the core and moves me in ways you could only imagine.

  • author: Michelle D

    From the Official American Idol Message Boards. I'm an Ace fan and I am one of Ace's Highrollers... someone put the link out and we'll, I loved it... From what I hear, the artist and Ace have a nice chemistry going on. Showing some love from DC!!

  • author: Katrina

    Via Ace Young on American Idol - I listened to the cd and it's awesome! Y'all are very talented. Much love and success to you both. I'll definately be on the lookout for your name in the future. It's great that you are so supportive of Ace too - HighRollers, right on! :-)

  • author: Nicki Young

    Like many of your newest buyers, I'm all about Ace. ;o) Normally I don't enjoy any kind of R&B or rap... But I really really enjoyed listening to your sample mp3s!! It's not all crude and in your face with diiiirty lyrics and distateful innuendos. I find most music in this genre to usually be derogatory. All of my friends will be shocked that this album is in my collection, and I hope to put it in theirs too!! Ya'll are awesome, and thanks for supporting Ace as well!!

  • Opening the minds of biased people!!

I look forward to my cd being delivered, thanks for getting rid of the stereotype for me!! Ya'll are awesome, and thanks for supporting Ace as well!!

  • Taking up Permanent Residance in Tha Vill
    author: Melissa

    Wow... I was blown away by the depth of this CD. Like many of the others, I came becaue of Ace (who's smooth voice is intoxicating on this record), and I stayed for the whole package. The lyrics are raw, and Tha Villian shines in showing his range. I don't know who the girl is on a couple of the tracks, but her voice is Amazing as well. I love the variety of this album, like someone else said it's not all about shoot-em-up or shaking your ass. I have no doubt in my mind that Tha Villian will be on the mainstream market within the next year. Keep it real!

  • I love it!
    author: Allie

    I just got my CD today and I absolutely love it! I originally listened to some of the clips because of Ace but once I heard them, I ended up just loving the music in general and needed to hear more. I would highly recommend this CD to anyone.

  • this cd is hott!!! it's real!!! and i love it!!!
    author: villiansnumberonefan

    this cd covers everything!! the beats are nice and the lyrics are hott! and guess what people it actually talks more then about just shaking your butt!! i love it!! tha villian's voice is one of a kind too and i now know who the secret artist is ..it's ace young of american idol.. these two have great chemistry!! i got the album and downloaded my favorite songs to my ipod.. and to my phone for ring tones!! great buy..

  • Wow! Amazing beats and powerful lyrics!
    author: AceinyourFace

    The Villain is a very talented group! I discovered them after doing some research on American Idol's Ace Young. I hope he wins this year. He is simply amazing on this album. He needs to have his very own album soon. While rapping isn't generally my thing, the Villain is obviously talented! The lyrics speak volumes. Look forward to future releases!

  • its hott! love it, love it, love it!!
    author: chelc
