La palabra rap es un término coloquial que se utiliza para designar a aquel tipo de música generado por sonidos hablados y palabras más que por melodías instrumentales. El rap es uno de los géneros musicales más populares, sobre todo desde la década de 1980 y en adelante en Estados Unidos. Se considera que sus orígenes son muy variados ya que toma aportes de diversos ritmos populares, algunos africanos, jamaiquinos o propios de la comunidad afro-americana de Estados Unidos. En su mayoría, los grandes ídolos del rap han sido pertenecientes a esta comunidad.
Antoine McColister (nacido el 11 de mayo de 1988, en Port St. Lucie, Florida), más conocido como Ace Hood, es un rapero americano perteneciente al sello de DJ Khaled: We The Best Music.
