Alley Boy – Tall (Featuring Young Dro)
Alley Boy’s Definition of Fuck Shit mixtape dropped at 7:00PM this past Saturday. Some have said that the project, hosted by DJ Holiday and The Empire, was the most anticipated mixtape since Young Jeezy’s Trap or Die. Those are some big shoes to fill!
Shout out to JT for producing the mixtape’s first official single, “Tall,” featuring Young Dro. Alley Boy’s opening verse gives us a glimpse into his style:
“Twenty fours on my old school,
I’m doing ninety, my davengers blue,
My trunk beatin, it’s killing you,
My paint candi, it’s killing you,
Windows tinted my sunroof,
These niggas hate, but I’m bullet proof,
My ice blinging, it’s blinding you,
But that’s just what the sun do,
I’m big spendin, my rims spinnin,
My golds’ shinin, Duct Tape with it,
My Louie shoes, and white linen,
I’m big money, you little pennies,
Asanti’s, Giovanni’s,
We back to back pullin’ in Onyx,
Dusty hoes they looking funny,
Givin the bad hoes the money,
In my headrest is TV’s,
Watching pornos in 3-D,
Little kids that screamin bingo, when I pass by and they see me.”
Alley Boy’s flow fits well over the beat, and that line about little kids screaming bingo is pretty hilarious. Young Dro adds his signature flavor to the song with colorful phrases that describe his car and rims such as, “Dro, I’m real tall/ Sushi rims, they real raw.”
Alley Boy’s camp defines “fuck shit” as getting what you want by any means necessary. For more on the Atlanta artist, check out our feature article.
Joell Ortiz – Call Me (Featuring Novel)
Here’s Joell Ortiz’s first single off the upcoming Free Agent album.
Rik Cordero’s video for “Call Me” literally transforms the song into a short film starring a young Joell Ortiz. That scene where he passes the “Yes, No, Maybe” note is classic, but my favorite part of the video comes at the 1:30 mark when a fifteen-year-old Joell spits game over the phone, ha!
Instead of pointing out a single quote, I suggest you simply sit back and enjoy the show. Every verse on “Call Me” builds off the last as Joell shows off his impressive storytelling skills.

Despite having been in jail for the first half of 2009, Alley Boy’s name remained relevant in the streets due to the support of his Duct Tape family and the success of Big Bank Black’s “Try It Out." Upon being released, the Edgewood, Atlanta native bounced back and signed a joint venture between Atlantic Records and DTE.
Alley Boy's co-signs range from DJ Drama, to Gucci Mane, to fellow emerging artist Pill, and the Atlanta tastemakers have already crowned Alley Boy's Duct Tape Entertainment the biggest street movement since BMF.
