Out of Maryland, Ace Cosgrove has a sound that’s unlike anything traditionally heard in the DMV. The Ambrosia For Heads Spotlight artist releases his latest video single, “Baby Need Clothes.” A song that explains his reason for grinding so hard for the career, combines a Pop-savvy, Funk-informed beat with an unconventional delivery and flow. There is an earnest quality to Ace’s single, and a deliberate rawness that owns the moment.

As he explains in the song quite organically, this is why there is no time to waste in making Ace take home the chips.
