[edit] Life and Music Career
In 2007, Ace Hood met Khaled outside the offices of WEDR 99 Jamz, a South Florida radio station that mainly plays Hip Hop and Contemporary R&B music. Ace gave him a biography of himself and a demo tape. The same night, Khaled called Hood's manager and said he loved Ace's hunger and image. Khaled presented Ace one more test; to rap over the instrumental of I'm So Hood. Khaled loved what Ace did, and a few weeks later, he was signed to We The Best Music, and soon after Def Jam.[5]
