Aceyalone (born Eddie Hayes) is an American rapper, known for his passion for and command of words and language. Having played an important part in the development of intelligent, literate rap in a time when gangsta rap was the predominant rap style, he continues his recognizable and otherwise unchanged craft to this day. Aceyalone embodies the sophisticated west coast style that is showcased in other indie artists such as Blackalicious and Del Tha Funkee Homosapien.

He is a founding member of the Freestyle Fellowship. Apart from his role in Freestyle Fellowship, Aceyalone is also a member of Haiku D'Etat (with Mikah 9 and Abstract Rude) and The A-Team (with Abstract Rude).
