Albee Al is a Jersey City, New Jersey gladiator rapper with an ever-growing influence in the tri-state area. The Marion Projects product started music with self-produced mixtapes in the early 2010s which painted gritty, unfiltered portraits of the street life and violence he was exposed to in his youth.

Born Albert Robinson, he came from a family of gangsters that did whatever they could to keep their heads above water. As much as he grew into the street lifestyle from day one, the same thing happened with his love for music. His father used to rap with Doug E. Fresh and at twelve years old, Albee battle rapped against neighbors on the block.

After serving a brief stint in prison, Albee Al became determined to be the best representation of Jersey. His first major hit came in 2016 with “Ten Toes Down” which racked up 8.1 million views on YouTube. The emcee’s robust delivery and confidence landed him performances on HOT 97, LA Leakers, and ESPN’s SportsCenter. Some of his past collaborations came from Uncle Murda, Fetty Wap, A.R. AB, Arsonal, and Kodak Black. His 2019 mixtape, Koba landed number 21 on Billboard’s top independent album chart.

With just a week out of prison, Albee Al signed a million-dollar deal with EMPIRE in August of 2022. FREE THE REAL is set to be released on September 30th 2022.
