Milwaukee emcee A.C. The Ruler has done a solid job of creating a buzz around himself this year. In addition to dropping his “Cirrocumulus” project a few months ago, A.C. returned at the end of the year with “26 (Ruler’s Back)”. Arced by some dreamy production that fuses boom bap with the contemporary, the track is a reminder that A.C. can go round for round lyrically with some of your favorite rappers. Without exaggerating in his bars, we get a confident, poised flow on this track that can make a hip hop head nod in appreciation, but still play to a younger generation as well. We’re in for some big things from A.C. The Ruler in the coming year, and you can get a jump start on that by checking out “26 (Ruler’s Back)” below:
