Review from allmusic.com
by Alex Henderson

Cypress Hill, the Mexikinz, Kid Frost and Afro-Rican are among the Latinos
who have made valuable contributions to rap -- a genre historically dominated
by Black males. Like those MCs, the distinctive Mellow Man Ace has used his
experiences as a Latino to his artistic advantage when rapping. On his debut
album, Escape From Havana, the L.A.-based Cuban-American fluctuates
between aggressive hardcore rap and more melodic and commercial fare. Ace,
who raps in both English and Spanish, had a major hit in "Mentirosa" -- an
infectious, salsa-influenced gem sampling Santana's "Evil Way." That song and
the ballads "B-Boy in Love" and "If You Were Mine" show that even at his most
commercial, he still has integrity -- while "Rap Guanco," "Mas Pignon" and
"River Cubano" demonstrate how hard and forceful he can get. Ace, like a lot
of rappers, spends too much time boasting about his microphone skills.
Nonetheless, Escape From Havana is an individualistic, risk-taking work that's
well worth hearing.
