Joell Ortiz
Joell Ortiz (born July 6, 1980 in Brooklyn , New York ) is an American rapper and member of the rap formation Slaughterhouse , who worked for Dr. Dres label Aftermath Entertainment was under contract. After Dr. Dre had heard several demo tapes by the rapper in 2006, the rapper was signed a little later. Ortiz left the label in January 2008.
Production history
On April 24, 2007 Ortiz released his first solo album The Brick (Bodega Chronicles) . However, the LP was not released on the Aftermath Entertainment label, but on Koch Records . The reason for this was that the album had already been completed when Ortiz was not yet contractually bound to Aftermath . The album was thus created without the influence of an Aftermath producer. For this reason, Dr. Dre Ortiz got permission to release the album on another label.
Produced The Brick , among others, DJ Premier and The Alchemist . Well-known rappers such as MOP , Styles P. , Ras Kass and Immortal Technique are featured as feature guests with guest contributions.
Ortiz has been part of the Slaughterhouse artist association since the end of 2008 . Since 2011 he has been under contract with Eminem's label Shady Records.
