Where it happened
- Jersey City, Hudson County.
Jersey City's own Albee Al is on a record that has passed 27 million views. "Risk Takers," the track he made with Millyz and Leaf Ward, crossed that mark on YouTube more than three and a half years after its official video came out.
The song is billed as Millyz featuring Albee Al and Leaf Ward. Millyz, a rapper from Cambridge, Massachusetts, released the official video on his YouTube channel on Feb. 2, 2023. He and Albee Al have teamed up before, including on "My Heart Frozen" and "Triangle Offense" with Dave East.
Millyz marked the milestone on Instagram on Oct. 18 with a post shared with Albee Al. In it he called "Risk Takers" the hardest East Coast rap song of the 2020s. The post drew more than 25,000 likes and over 1,000 comments, many of them weighing in on where the song ranks.
As of Oct. 20, the official video showed 27,066,496 views on YouTube. The Instagram post is a three-part carousel of clips from the video, with one part each for Millyz, Albee Al and Leaf Ward.
Millyz isn't done: in the comments, he wrote that he has "another EASTCOAST anthem loaded." He did not say when it will be released.
