CAB Ace Perspective on Double Van CLeef
What’s good? I go by CAB Ace, and I’m here to bring you that raw energy and real talk that hits deep. I make trap rap that’s all about the hustle, the grind, and the struggles we go through every day. My music mixes hard-hitting beats, catchy hooks, and bars that speak the truth about life, the streets, and everything in between.
I’m not just out here making music for the clubs or the cars—I’m telling stories that’ll resonate with anyone who’s been through it. Whether you’re grinding to get to the top or vibing to the rhythm, my sound is all about that feeling of empowerment and being unapologetically yourself.
If you’re looking for something real, something you can ride to, or something that motivates you to keep pushing, I got you. My music is the soundtrack for anyone out here making moves and living life on their terms.
My background is everything that shapes my sound. I grew up around the grind—the ups, the downs, the struggles, and the victories. All of that is in my music. Every bar, every beat, reflects where I’ve been and where I’m going. Whether I was navigating tough situations or hustling just to make it, it all fuels the energy and realness behind my tracks.
In this song, I’m channeling all the experiences that molded me—living through hard times, learning lessons the hard way, and knowing that no matter what, you’ve got to keep pushing. The streets, the grind, the ambition, it’s all embedded in the sound. It’s that "get it by any means" mentality, and that’s something I’ve carried with me every step of the way.
If you’re listening and feeling that fire, it’s because I’m giving you pieces of my life. Everything from where I’m from to where I’m headed plays a part in the story I’m telling through the music.
Man, my earliest memory of music goes way back. I remember being a kid, just vibing out to Michael Jackson. His music was everywhere—on the radio, on TV, and at home. I can still picture watching "Thriller" and being completely blown away by his moves and the energy he brought to every track. MJ was like the blueprint for how to mix performance with pure artistry. That rhythm, those hooks, and that smooth flow—he was telling stories without even saying a word, and I wanted to do the same thing.
I think that’s where my love for music started. His influence was huge, especially when I started figuring out my own sound. His passion, his way of connecting with people—it lit a fire in me. I wanted to create something that would make people feel the same way, whether it’s through a beat, a hook, or the vibe I bring in my lyrics.
Honestly, the moment I decided to take this music thing seriously came in December of 2016. Up until then, I was just vibing, making tracks for fun, and playing around with the idea of being an artist. But that month, something clicked. I was at a crossroads in life, trying to figure out what I really wanted to do and where I was headed. I had this fire inside me that I couldn’t ignore anymore.
I remember being in the studio one night, just grinding through some beats, and it hit me—I could make this my life. I could make music not just as a hobby, but as my purpose. The energy in the room, the connection I felt with the beats and the lyrics, was unlike anything I’d ever felt before. It was like I finally understood my calling. That December, I made the choice: I wasn’t going to just talk about it—I was going to live it.
Since then, I’ve been on this journey, putting everything I’ve got into my music, and I’m just getting started. Every track, every performance, it all comes from that moment when I decided this was more than just a dream. It was my reality.
"Double Van Cleef" is definitely rooted in trap, but with a twist. It’s got that hard-hitting energy and raw, street vibe that trap heads love, but I’m bringing in some unique layers—soulful melodies, sharp production, and those catchy hooks that get stuck in your head. The beat bangs, the flow’s on point, and the lyrics? They’re all about that grind, the hustle, and flexing what you've earned.
If you’re into trap music, you’re gonna feel this, but it also has that crossover appeal. It’s the type of track that speaks to anyone who’s been through the struggle and knows what it takes to level up. It’s CAB Ace at his finest—blending street culture with real talk, giving you that motivation and energy that’ll have you pushing harder, moving faster, and never looking back.
