Astray Has “Made It Out Alive” for His Alpha Howse Debut (Album Review)

This is the 5th full-length LP from Detroit emcee/producer Astray. Making a name for himself at the beginning of the current millennium off a self-titled debut, he continued to follow this up with Hungry as well as Who’s Coming with Me? & my personal favorite Daydreaming at a Green Light. From there, local veteran Eminem signed him to his Interscope Records imprint Shady Records for a publishing deal up until his official departure earlier on in the year. Whitney Peyton launched her own indie label Alpha Howse after leaving Suburban Noize Records a while back & after making him one of the first 2 signees, Astray’s happy as anyone he Made It Out Alive.

“Avalanche” is a boom bap opener advising to put your eyes where they can see to put on a show for you whereas the title track has a grimier tone working in more kicks & snares expressing his gratitude for still being here today. “1 Eye Open” gives off a desponding boom bap vibe instrumentally talking about a keeping with 1 eye closed & the other open prior to “Kimbo Slice” ruggedly likening himself to the late MMA figure & the King of the Web Brawlers himself.

Meanwhile on “Pack of Wolves”, we have the entire Alpha Howse roster coming together for a raw posse cut showcasing what they’re capable of just before “Cut Throat” returns to the boom bap to talk about being here with a vengeance. “Breaking the Law” featuring Willy Northpole & Bag of Tricks Cat experiments with cloudy trap looking to commit some crimes leading into “Art of War” hooks the kicks & snares back up bringing it hardcore. “Lift the Sorrow” featuring Blumoon ends the album speaking from the heart about gun violence.

Being someone that’s been following Astray since the Shady publishing deal, it makes me happy to see Whitney expanding her new indie label & Made It Out Alive certainly makes the case for the Alpha Howse label growing stronger on top of looking forward to Willy Northpole’s upcoming Alpha Howse debut Broadway Theatre next month. The production’s mostly boom bap centered & the Detroit emcee expresses his gratitude for still being here today.

Score: 8/10
