Take a Look Around is the debut album from hip hop artist Masta Ace, originally known as Master Ace. After appearing on the classic hip hop crew cut "The Symphony" with the Juice Crew in 1988, Ace released his first single, "Together" b/w "Letter to the Better" in 1989. The former is included here, as well as a remixed version of "Letter to the Better." The album also featured two hip-hop hits, "Music Man" and "Me & the Biz," a tribute of sorts to labelmate Biz Markie, in which Ace plays the role of both himself and Biz (who reportedly couldn't make it to the studio for the actual collaboration he desired).
