Born and raised in the South Bronx, New York. His story does not get any realer than this. Albert ìALBe BACKî Daniels was surrounded by hip-hop greats during his most impressionable years, so itís only fitting that he is in this unique position right now to uphold the legacy of the greats before him. Citing his cousin and late hip-hop legend, Big Pun, as one of his major influences, ALBe grew up watching him create the classic videos, albums, and movement from its infant stage. It is very clear in ALBeís music that he is a true Bronx MC first, it just so happens that heís good at everything else too.
The phrase ìRenaissance Manî is thrown around way to often now days in this industry, no one embodies the phrase like ALBe. The MC/Actor/Poet/Producer/Writer/Director is most noted for his infectious humor as ìBrooklynî in the critically acclaimed film, Warner Brothers ìATLî. ATLís Director, Chris Robinson, had known Daniel's since he was a fifteen-year-old production assistant on his music video shoots in New York. Upon receiving the script, Robinson immediately sought out ALBe for the role. ALBe starred alongside T.I. Evan Ross, and Lauren London in what is considered as a hip-hop culture classic.
In addition to his acting ventures, ALBe then capitalized on his childhood love, poetry. As a regular at New Yorkís Nuyorican CafÈ and Los Angelesís Da Poetry Lounge, ALBeís life story is featured in the award winning spoken word documentary titled ìSPITî directed by Rotimi Rainwater, which was also featured at in Cannes film festival. Not to mention his appearance on HBOís award winning original program ìDef Poetry Jamî.
The music is where ALBe is just that much better than the competition. In 2007, ALBe BACK earned his first Grammy award for his work on Kanye Westís multi-platinum album, ìGraduationî. ALBe wrote and produced the track ìGood Nightî ft. Mos Def. This was a huge stepping stone for ALBeís career.
The Def Poet has already appeared on MTV, BET, and a major motion pictureís. Already having collaborated and rocked shows with names such like Swizz Beatz, T.I., Mos Def, Kanye West, MC Lyte, KRS-One, Dead Prez, Gym Class Heroes, and Olivia. This kid from the boogie down Bronx will not and can not be stopped. ALBe Backís path to greatness is already illuminated on the big screen, small screen and now your screen as his debut album is set for its 09 release.
