Aceyalone & the Lonely Ones is the ninth studio album by American rapper Aceyalone. It was released on Decon in 2009.
Critical reception
Andrew Martin of PopMatters gave the album 7 stars out of 10, saying, "A few missteps aside, this record remains a refreshing and creative take on an experiment that could have easily failed."[3] Thomas Quinlan of Exclaim! said, "What really holds this album together is the live band feel that's also applied to the doo-wop and R&B choruses."[2] Mosi Reeves of Spin called it "one of the year's most unexpected hip-hop pleasures, with the Los Angeles MC switching gears from his inventive and hugely influential rapid-fire rhyme style."[4]
