glace

'Glace' is used to address someone you are "locked in with".

The word comes from the combination of 'gritty' and 'lace', as in someone who is tied in with your lifestyle through the tough times and has shown grit.

'glace' started as part of the culture of underground rappers around the New England area but quickly spread through the grapevine around the underground U.S.

It is often used as a casual greeting as well.

"I 'preciate you for your support in the show, my glace."
"Yo! What's good my glace? How you been?"
"Joe has been a glace since day one; let him in the place, man."
