In 1994, Mumbles met Aceyalone through an A&R of Grand Royal Records, and together they recorded three tracks, two of which appeared on Acey's first solo release “All Balls Don't Bounce” on Capitol Records. In 1997, two of Mumbles’ tracks appeared on Ubiquity's release “Audio Alchemy” and in the same year, a song was chosen for the OM Records compilation “Deep Concentration.” In 1998, Aceyalone and Mumbles then decided to collaborate on a full length album together, “A Book of Human Language,” which has since been widely acclaimed as an underground hip-hop classic.
Nearly a decade after their initial collaboration, Mumbles & Aceyalone re-unite to bring the power to the people! The upcoming full-length titled “Transformations / Illuminations,”is eagerly expected by hip-hop fans. Filled with lush arrangements, solid production, and the classic boom bap, Mumbles delivers a future classic that will set new standards in hip hop. Old school fans and newbies alike, everyone abound is likely to say “Welcome back Mumbles, welcome back!”

PRESS
- "the album does magnify Mumbles’ precocious brilliance (he was in his teens when he crafted most of these beats) and rightfully affirms how important he was to the success of A Book of Human Language."
- Prefix Magazine (2005-04-19)
- "“A genuine example of rhymes as poetry -- what other MCs would dare offer a reading of Lewis Carrol's Jabberwocky -- A Book Of Human Language is hiphop for listening and paying close attention to, something that's getting increasingly uncommon these days. ’”
- Now Magazine (Toronto)
- “Since this record is a "book," each song is a chapter that builds onto the song prior and lays the foundation for the next, all made conceptually cohesive with interludes, narratives, and the dark, jazzy production of longtime collaborator Mumbles. With Human Language, Aceyalone manages to insightfully and provocatively cover a universe of subjects, delivered in poetically complex rhymes.” - Amazon (James Tai)
