Lace!

Lace! (born Jaden Lacy Haynes) is a rising artist from West Texas known for his introspective lyricism and genre-blending approach to modern hip-hop. Launching his music journey at just 17 with early SoundCloud releases, he quickly stood out for his atmospheric sound, weaving together elements of trap, cloud rap, and ambient textures.
Influenced by boundary-pushers like Kanye West, A$AP Rocky, and Lil Uzi Vert, Lace! has carved out a sonic identity that’s emotionally raw yet forward-thinking. His 2024 project, Cyberdelia 24, marked a major creative leap, with the haunting standout track “ghost” resonating deeply with fans. He followed up in early 2025 with johnwaynelacy, a sharp, self-assured body of work featuring highlights like “Sierra Mist Freestyle” and “King of Hearts.”
On stage, Lace! continues to build his presence, having opened for Southern rap legend Big Tuck in June 2024 in San Angelo, Texas, and performed at The Pre Roll ATX Showcase at the iconic Antone’s on Austin’s historic Sixth Street in July 2024.
With each release and performance, Lace! proves he’s not just a new voice in hip-hop—he’s a visionary reshaping its edges.
