"'Born to Roll'" is a single by Masta Ace Incorporated. Released initially as a standalone single in 1994, "Born To Roll" is the West Coast remake of "Jeep Ass Niguh" (the hit single from their 1993 debut album 'SlaughtaHouse') with the same lyrics, now musically modified to pay homage to the West Coast sound (which was popular by this time) and the lowrider scene, keeping with the theme of cars and loud, booming music. Group leader Masta Ace was the sole performer of the song, as well as the sole producer of this version under the credit of Ase One.
"Born To Roll" became Masta Ace's biggest chart hit, peaking at number 23 on the 'Billboard' Hot 100 and also at #5 on the Hot Rap Singles chart, garnering relatively greater popularity than its original East Coast counterpart. The success of the song led to its inclusion on the group's second album, 'Sittin' on Chrome' in 1995 and eventually as a bonus track on the subsequent re-release of the 'SlaughtaHouse' album that same year.
