Hey, what ever happened to...?

Joell Ortiz's second album "Free Agent". The supposed debut single off of the album was "Cawl Me". He shot a video for it and the song got mediocre radio play in the Tri-City area. Today however we are not hearing anything about the details of that albums release.

Joell Ortiz's first album "The Brick: Bodega Chronicles" was highly overlooked and was one of the best debut albums of 2007. The most recent thing he has put out for purchase in stores was the collaborative album of he Royce da 5'9, Joe Budden and Crooked I. Together these men were referred to as Slaughterhouse and there lyrical studio album is named such. Recently the four men signed as a group to Eminem's Shady Records

Ortiz is one of the best underground rappers around right now but it is a disappointment to see he is still holding down the underground. Every freestyle I hear from him is amazing and his lyrical talent takes a back seat to no one (See Nissan Honda Chevy). I was anticipating this album this year. From the looks of things, I may be forced to wait another year or so.

Here is a prime example how talented Ortiz is.
