FROM PLATINUM PLAQUES TO INNER PEACE: ACE HOOD ACTIVATES “THAT MODE”

The independent heavyweight returns with fire and focus ahead of S.O.U.L. release.

There’s a certain calm that comes with knowing who you are—and a different kind of fire that follows. On his new single “That Mode,” released via his own Hood Nation Records / Sony Orchard, Ace Hood reminds the world that he’s not only still here—he’s sharper, stronger, and more aligned than ever.

The ISM-produced track is all about intensity—high stakes, high power, and a laser focus that’s been sharpened through adversity and self-mastery. "‘That Mode’ is about owning your power, moving with divine alignment, and knowing that once you enter ‘that mode,’ there’s no turning back,” says Ace, who’s been carving his own path since parting ways with major labels in pursuit of creative and spiritual freedom.

Due out July 18, his upcoming album S.O.U.L. continues this journey. It follows earlier offerings like “Mister Hood,” a soulful and reflective track rooted in legacy and personal evolution. From mainstream stardom to independent icon, Ace Hood has proven that longevity doesn’t come from following trends—it comes from living your truth.
