Slaughterhouse stopped in at Kube 93 for a late night Sound Session interview while in Seattle for the Rock The Bells tour. During the interview, the supergroup spoke with DJ Hyphen and J. Moore about the Slaughterhouse project. They also spoke on the differences between recording as a solo artist and as a group, and whether or not they felt competition while in the recording booth.

Dallas Penn Presents Slaughterhouse Album Release Party Live Performance
Dallas Penn takes you into the Slaughterhouse Album Release Party on August 12 for a two part hip hop video. The Slaughterhouse album is in stores now, and according to Soundscan, it sounds as it if it will push about 25k. Not too bad…
Slaughterhouse – “The One” Behind The Scenes
Three/21 Media Takes you Behind the Scenes at The One Video by Slaughterhouse. The One, which was shot last week, is the first video and single for Slaughterhouse’s upcoming E1 Music debut album. The whole video takes place in the penthouse of the Night Hotel, where Slaughterhouse delivers some serious bars.
Joell Ortiz – Free Agent Documentary Trailer
Joell Ortiz continues to be one of my favorite hip hop artists out right now. The creation of Slaughterhouse was definitely a good look for Joell Ortiz because I feel it gave him the opportunity to be lyrical, raw, and spit that realness without having to compromise for a ringtone hit. With that said, this video clip presents the trailer for Joell Ortiz’s Free Agent Documentary. The Brooklyn born hip hop artist has created his own buzz on the radio, internet, and streets with his hunger, talent and tenacity as a hip hop artist. The uncanny abilities of Joell Ortiz led to his signing at Aftermath Records with Dr. Dre. Unfortunately for Aftermath Records, Joell Ortiz left the label to become a free agent, and has since created this documentary to give you an inside peek at his life, his family, his music, and his career.
Slaughterhouse, M.O.P. and DJ Premier on JoeBuddenTV
Slaughterhouse, M.O.P. and DJ Premier chop it up on JoeBuddenTV, most likely previewing their track. Obviously, this video took place after the Green Lantern D.O.A. freestyle and interview. Showbiz was also in the building. Joe Budden announced that he’ll be leaking the track with M.O.P. this week, so stay tuned. I’m disappointed though that M.O.P. isn’t rhyming on the track, though hopefully we’ll see a track from M.O.P. and the Slaughterhouse quartet of Joe Budden, Joell Ortiz, Crooked I, and Royce Da 5’9″ in the near future… with DJ Premier on the production! We can only hope!
Joe Budden Announces October 2009 Release for The Great Escape

Following the success of Halfway House and The Padded Room, it appears that Joe Budden and Amalgam Digital are ready to release another album, which will be entitled The Great Escape.
Joe Budden has stated that the album is actually the final piece of the concept trilogy, as he finally finds salvation and freedom from a sense of confinement that had defined his life and career. The Great Escape is slated to be one of Joe Budden’s best efforts yet (I feel like we hear this line whenever an artist releases a new album), and will feature several established producers and artists, which is a notable change from his usual formula. Joe Budden and Amalgam Digital have announced that The Great Escape will be released in both CD and digital form on October 13th, 2009, with two additional bonus tracks available when purchased digitally on www.AmalgamDigital.com.
In addition, Amalgam Digital and Joe Budden will release a prelude to The Great Escape by releasing a digital-only album, entitled Escape Route, in July of 2009. Joe Budden has said that Escape Route will give fans a taste of what to expect from him on The Great Escape. Escape Route will be available exclusively at www.AmalgamDigital.com.
Could Escape Route be one of the four EPs that each of the four Slaughterhouse members (Royce Da 5’9″, Joell Ortiz, Crooked I, and Joe Budden) have announced? We already know Royce Da 5’9″ is releasing The Revival on July 7, 2009. It only makes sense that Escape Route will be one of the four. This is going to be an incredible summer/fall for the Slaughterhouse quartet, as we now know of these four EPs, the Slaughterhouse album, Street Hop, and The Great Escape? It is, without a doubt, a good time to be a real hip hop fan. Good hip hop music is back!
Royce Da 5’9″ – The Revival EP Tracklist and Artwork

On July 7, 2009, Royce Da 5’9″ will be releasing The Revival EP in preparation for the release of his Street Hop LP, due out for release on September 22. Street Hop will be executive produced by DJ Premier. It’s going to be a big year for Royce Da 5’9″ with the release of The Revival (cover art is dope!!), the Slaughterhouse album, and Street Hop. It’s a long time coming, as Royce Da 5’9″ has been one of the nicest hip hop artists for some time. Check the tracklist below, which will feature a new track from Slaughterhouse. The EP will be available for sale at all major digital retail outlets.
