Albee Al's 'Free The Real' album is finally arriving next week

Jersey stand up? Of course the days of Joe Budden and Slaughterhouse might be done-done and Redman can’t represent the entire Garden State by his lonesome - so enter Albee Al and his new Free The Real album slated to arrive in the coming days.

Albee Al’s ‘Free The Real’ album is dropping September 30

Following a stint behind bars, Albee is back-back with new tunes. From putting out ‘Thottie’ to getting the East Coast pumped for even more tunes, September 30 can’t come soon enough.

Jersey City's gladiator Albee Al is back with an emphatic seventeen-track album FREE THE REAL released through EMPIRE. On August 15th, Albee Al was released from Passaic County Jail after a three-year stint, and FREE THE REAL shows that Albee Al has not missed a beat. Albee’s album asserts his superstar status on “King of New Jersey” with the lines “I’m a shooter like Ginobli, better yet Kobe, gotta pay up if you owe me. I ride around with a thirty… I’m the King of New Jersey…” 

Brooklyn’s own Rowdy Rebel joins Albee Al on the drill-type song “She F**k With A Gangsta” and Sacramento’s hip-hop king Mozzy delivers an introspective verse on “Cash Rules.” “Cash Rules” gives a nod to the famous Wu-Tang song C.R.E.A.M. as Al raps about what fuels his drive with the lines “Cash rules everything around me, CREAM, get the money, remember times when I ain’t had nothing, remember times when won’t shit in my stomach, so broke, felt punished…”

FREE THE REAL provides a juxtaposition between Albee’s superstar status and the recurring obstacles that hit him whenever he gets on a hot streak in his career. Like the gladiator spirit that Albee Al embodies, he rises above and obtains the throne by brute force. 

In mid-August, Albee finally tasted freedom and didn’t waste time celebrating with his ‘Thottie’ single and music video.
