Albee Al keeps going strong-strong with his new 'I Could Take The Hate' music video
Granted, this could have easily slid into the VIDEOS section but when you’re back-back from doing a bid in prison, it’s the least shine to give to Albee Al - plus he’s representing for New Jersey so of course the respect is mutual. The hip-hop artist comes through with the visual treatment to his new ‘I Could Take The Hate’ anthem.

It’s all about Albee Al in ‘I Could Take The Hate’ music video
Riding around looking at the opps and also toasting to the good life, Al doesn’t hold back on his witty wordplay with his newest video. It’s non-stop turn up energy from Albee clocking in at over four minutes.
Fresh off the successful release of his album FREE THE REAL, Jersey’s own Albee Al continues to put in work with his new video for “I Could Take The Hate.” The video is a movie of Albee’s life with Albee turning up at the album’s listening party and his interview at Sirus XM.
“I Could Take The Hate” is a reflection of Al’s ability to overcome as he went from “state slides to Gucci slides on an island, [and] went from handcuffs to Rolexes, flooded diamonds.” Aside from rapping about shining like the star he is, he discusses paranoia about old friends betraying him and losing his brother. “Pray for me, you know I’m under a lot of pressure since I lost my brother, still ain’t pulled myself together, changing like the weather, hard to read who’s really down for me…”
He closes out the cinematic video by stating that when you’re comfortable with your own skin, nothing will bother you as you stack your bread up.
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.
