Alley Boy Gets Assists from 21 Savage, Derez De'Shon, Marlo & more on 'AlleyGod'

Say the name Alley Boy and you might get mentions of his time with Atlantic Records, his partnership with Master P or memories of the days Duct Tape Entertainment planted their flag in Atlanta’s fertile Hip Hop scene.

Sprouting from the concrete of Zone 6, Alley Boy grew to be a voice of the streets - both chronicling the principles of life and the lack thereof. Always seeing music as secondary, Alley Boy’s releases have been sporadic to date. Which explains this last minute classic….

The process of releasing 'AlleyGod' was pure madness, to say the least. Recording over 100 songs last year in 2018, yet dropping only three (Interview, 6 Figures and No Vouchin); Alley felt a spurt of energy in the New Year and quickly hopped back in the studio. This time everything came together smoothly and with the tracklist finalized in an unheard of 2 days, Alley boldly set a January 10 drop date. No pre-promotional planning. Super aggressive release timing. All done in the name of artistry.

Once the date for 'AlleyGod' was announced, Alley Boy was flooded with feature requests behind the scenes. Sticking to his strong belief of only making music with artists he vibes with, AlleyGod accepted last-minute contributions from 21 Savage, Derez De'Shon and QC's Marlo.

The tradeoff and benefit of having these high-caliber features delayed the upload of the project. The mastered project wasn't finalized until 8pm, January 9th. Feeling constrained by a delayed release via Apple and Spotify - Alley Boy decided to take things into his own hands by getting this soon to be recognized classic into the hearts of fans via his YouTube channel.

The 12-track project is nothing short of masterful street knowledge and vibes. 21 Savage goes nuts on "Fish Fry," while Derez De'Shon and Marlo kill the City Girls named "Grewed Up." Alley Boy shines brightest on the solo cuts, while his Duct Tape fam makes a strong showing with newcomer Ola Runt getting the Big Bank Black co-sign before the 800BBS crew take full advantage of the posse cut "Loaded." B Green, Champ1k and Big Bank Black join Alley Boy in a strong finale, cementing AlleyGod's claim of classic status. But don't take our word for it. Tap into 'AlleyGod' below and form your own conclusion.
