## Resource

🎧 From Bed-Stuy to the Badge: DJ ACE’s Unfiltered Journey Through the Streets, the System & the Sound What do you call someone who grew up in tough neighborhoods in Brooklyn, rose through the ranks of the NYPD with empathy and grit, and rocks the turntables like a pro? You call him DJ ACE the Cut Lieutenant. He’s got one of the dopest sounds I’ve ever heard, and he's the man who helped me revamp the Reppin theme song into what you hear today. ACE takes us through his life growing up in Brooklyn Bed-Stuy during one of NYC’s most dangerous chapters, navigating the complexities of being Black and blue, and finding purpose through music, mentorship, and service. Growing up street-smart in 1980s Brooklyn Life lessons from his parents that helped him survive and thrive The truth about community policing, empathy, and high-stakes decision making Behind-the-scenes of being a cop in NYC — from partner dynamics to EDP calls His lifelong love of DJing, and how it became a bridge to community connection Follow DJ ACE on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/djace78/ ACE'S website: https://www.djace78.com/abouthttps://www.djace78.com/about 🎧 Listen now on Reppin – the podcast that amplifies identity, courage, and unapologetic truth. 🎥 👉 Watch the full episode on YouTube: youtube.com/@Reppinpodcast📲 Follow the journey on Instagram: @reppin_podcast🍎 Listen on Apple Podcasts: Reppin on Apple Learn more about your ad choices.
