KXNG Crooked & Joell Ortiz releases new album “Rise & Fall of Slaughterhouse”.
After failing to get Royce Da 5’9″ and Joe Budden on board for a Slaughterhouse reunion, KXNG Crooked and Joell Ortiz decided to go their own way with a new collaboration album called “Rise & Fall of Slaughterhouse“. The project was announced with the release of “Vacancy” with Blakk Soul, and was criticized by the other two members of their dismembered group. Recently, Joell Ortiz and Joe Budden also gets into a heated exchange of words in a live stream with Royce Da 5’9″.
In an interview with the Bacon Eggs N Cheese podcast, KXNG Crooked detailed why no one, friend or foe, can quiet him while he’s in the studio. “I’ve been talking about my life in the booth since I was eight,” he said. “This is a part and a chapter of my life. So, I got all rights to talk about my life. If they don’t like it, I can’t be mad at that. I ain’t mad at that. Nobody is going to tell me I have to ask for permission to talk about my life. Musically.”
The two followed it up with another new song “Backstage“, and now they unleashed the entire project. The album contains 13 tracks, with production from Heatmakerz, DJ Silk, DJ Pain and more. The additional guest features come from Sly Pyper on “Flood Waters”, and Traxx Sanders on “Coastin”. The duo also dropped the music video for “Smoke”.
