Alley Life

Alley Life is an American rapper from Detroit, Michigan most famous for his contribution "Out with the Old" in the video game Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2. Detroit native, Alley Life, is in a precarious position. His mission is to put his hometown on the map in an "aggressive, but non-offensive" manner. But there are some things to consider: Detroit already has a name as the Motor City and musically, there's a small legacy called Motown. Oh yeah, and there's hip-hop's biggest star, Eminem, who happens to be signed to WEB Entertainment, the same production company to which Alley, who also goes by ALKI (Alley Life Kurupt Individual), is signed. Alley's self-titled debut LP, the inaugural hip-hop release from Farmclub.com/Interscope, is a collection of percolating bass stabs, liquid rhymes and party-starting chants.
