Block of Slaughterhouse (Pt. 1): Joell Ortiz “Project Boy” (Listen & Download)

Slaughterhouse are quickly becoming the Dream Team of underground hip-hop; and I mean the Jordan/Magic/Bird '92 Dream Team, not the Iverson/Marbury ' 02 Dream Team that lost to Yugoslavia. Actually, with every member of the Slaughterhouse crew individually releasing dope new music last night, maybe it'd be more accurate to compare them to Voltron; an array of lethal individual parts that can assemble into one giant killing machine. Whichever analogy you go with, the point is that Slaughterhouse is killing the game right now, so I thought it was only right that I drop a giant block o' Slaughterhouse this morning.

Leading off the festivities is Joell Ortiz, who just hours after releasing the video to this "Free Agent" lead single "Project Boy" followed with the tracks, and sweet baby Jesus is it dope. Produced by DJ Premier, hence the banger beat complete with turntable cuts, "Project Boy" is the kind of record that has more than a couple "oh shit" moments. You know those times in a track that are so dope your brain shuts down and all you can think it "oh shit!" Yeah, it's that good.
