Straight outta Albany, NY, Albany Lou is more than just a rapper—he’s a hustler, a boss, and a true product of hip-hop culture. From scribbling bars at age 11 to dropping crowd-shaking records as an adult, Lou’s journey through music is as gritty and authentic as the verses he spits. Now with his own label, a growing discography, and a loyal fanbase stretching from the dog game to the underground rap circuit, Albany Lou is proving he’s not just in the game—he is the game.
His breakout project, “Dead Game,” marked the start of a serious rise. That title wasn’t just a name—it was a declaration. Since then, Lou has collaborated with heavyweights like Conway the Machine, Fred The Godson (RIP), 38 Spesh, Che Noir, Ransom, CripMac, and even dropped three tracks with the Brooklyn legend Uncle Murda. These aren’t just co-signs; they’re a testament to his lyrical respect in the streets and industry alike.
Lou wears many hats—rapper, entrepreneur, label owner, and even a Dogman Ford reviewer. His brand is built on realness. No ghostwriters. No gimmicks. Just bars, hustle, and grit. His inspiration? The late DMX. Not just for the music, but the soul. Like X, Lou connects with dogs, pain, and perseverance—turning all of it into power on wax.
His latest drops, “YNOT TRUST” featuring 38 Spesh and “Porsche Life” with HitMan Zan, showcase his range and focus on detail. The visuals for Porsche Life are dropping soon, and while Zan recovers from surgery, fans are waiting patiently—knowing it’ll be worth the wait.
Though he’s rocked smaller venues with intimate crowds, Lou sees bigger stages in his future—Europe, Dubai, Mexico—he’s ready to see the world. Touring with acts like Griselda or Trust Records would be a natural fit, both stylistically and spiritually.
Whether it’s beats from Achilles, Deez Streetz, or Beat Behemoth, Albany Lou keeps his circle tight but his style expansive. Five years from now? Still making moves, stacking chips, and living free—but just on a much bigger level.
