In a genre of copycats Al Koleon is his own man. The New Jersey native eschews trendy rap crazes in favor of thoughtful street music reflective of his upbringing. Al’s imprint Outtfitt Music’s established a strong grassroots following in the Midwest collaborating with Freddie Gibbs and LEP and hitting the stage with 2 Chainz, Nelly and Young Buck. Al’s hard at work in the studio crafting a new mixtape (“Grinding Season) that’ll introduce him to an entirely new audience. On Koleon’s terms of course. Follow the leader.
