Man, these guys have put out 2 tracks that have just astonished me beyond belief. The wordplay that every one of these guys has is impeccable, and the production that we’ve heard has been top quality as well. DJ Khalil lays down a nice rock guitar infused beat that has Royce Da 5’9″, Crooked I, Joell Ortiz & Crooked I all spitting lava just like Kilauea. This album sounds like it is quickly shaping up to be a classic…

Here is the first leak off of Royce’s new EP The Revival which drops on July 7th. The track is produced by Emile (which may I mind you is fire), and of course you can expect Royce to be going off like a Tommy Gun. Thanks to 2DopeBoyz for the world premier leak. Make sure you watch out for the EPs from all of the cats from Slaughterhouse, they are coming very soon.

To be honest, I’m not really a big Wale fan. You can say all you want, but I’m not super impressed. I am, however, a huge 9th Wonder & LRG fan. I’m downloading this one as we speak, so I might have to give it a good listen tonight. According to the Hip Hop Official post, you can expect to hear Freeway, Talib Kweli, Joe Budden, Black Thought & Royce Da 5’9″ all spitting over 9th beats on this one (holy shit).

Holy shit this track bangs on all cylinders. Joey was gracious enough to drop the first leak off of the album to the homie shake over at 2DopeBoyz. Royce Da 5’9″, Joell Ortiz, Crooked I & Joe Budden murder shit on this track and the beat is hard as hell. M.O.P. is a long for the ride as well to spit the hook. All of you out there better be ready for this album because it’s going to be ridiculous. This album will probably have the most wordplay out of anything that you will hear this year (mark my words). If you sleep on this album there is truly no hope for you at all. Slaughterhouse album drops on August 11th.
Quotable of the song: Crooked I, “It’s time for some change like Obama in a laundromat”.

I couldn’t even think of anything else to put for the title because I am so fucking speechless. Royce put out this track, “D.O.A. (Redemption)”, as an answer to the people that were upset about him spitting a written they had already heard on Green Lantern’s show. This song is incredible and it just proves that Royce is a total beast on the bars. Listen to Royce spit molten lava flow for six minutes!

It looks as though the most rhyme potent supergroup is going to be dropping their debut album on July 7th. Joell Ortiz, Crooked I, Royce Da 5’9″ & Joe Budden, also known as Slaughterhouse, are going to be putting out a full length album. According to the Hip Hop DX article I read, they wrote the album in six days. The production will be handled by Alchemist, DJ Khalil & Mr. Porter which means you are going to hear some sick beats at the very least.
I can assure you that this album is going to be well worth the hard earned money you work for. On a seperate tip, this might be one of the most lyrically enhanced albums you will hear for a long time. This is one album I am highly looking forward to, if you love Hip-Hop you should be to.

As many of you know, Royce Da 5’9″ has a new album entitled Street Hop that is due out very soon. Culture Six had the chance to sit down with Royce and pick his brain a little bit. Royce talks on a variety of issues such as where he is at right now with the underground and radio music, Where things are at with Slaughterhouse right now and his good friend and group mate Joe Budden. Royce also talks a little bit about the legendary DJ Premier and what it’s been like to be able to work with him. Each video and promo that I see makes me want to hear Royce’s new album because it sounds like it might be a classic. Make sure you check out the interview and stay tuned to more info on Street Hop and anything Slaughterhouse.
If you haven’t heard by now, Slaughterhouse is the newest Hip-Hop super group out there. It is composed of Joell Ortiz, Joe Budden, Crooked I (of Circle of Bosses), and Royce Da 5’9″. These guys come together and unite like Megatron. I have to say this is one hell of a track, I haven’t heard much of anybody in the group lately except for Royce. I can’t wait until these guys release a proper full length because it sounds like they are going to destroy the game. eMC did the same thing and they put out one of the best albums of last year.
All of the guys that are in this group are going to be dropping albums in the year of 2009. Make sure you go out and get that solo material as well (Joe Budden’s album Padded Room is already out). You can also catch these guys at Paid Dues which, as always, looks to be a festival that is sure to please.
