Audio After The Jump
Royce Da 5'9 let the cat out of the bag during his interview with On Air Idiots. Slaughterhouse will be joining Eminem's Shady Records.
Joell Ortiz, Joe Budden, Crooked I and Royce in the booth with Em should produce some ill music.
Royce explained that Slaughterhouse will be looking to gain a larger audience after becoming an underground favorite. He assures the group won't leave their core audience behind in the process.
Royce expressed his opinion on Guru's passing.
"We lost a legend and I don't feel like it's a big enough deal on the internet. I think people should give it the same light as when Biggie got killed. Because he was as influential from his own lane"
Nickel Nine went on to talk about his friendship with Em, Detroit rappers uniting and his new mixtape 'Bar Exam 3' which drops May 31.
Video After The Jump
Brooklyn's Joell Ortiz has linked up with Jim Jones and dropped visuals for their remix of Lloyd Banks smash hit "Beamer, Benz Or Bentley".
The Slaughterhouse MC cleverly flipped the song into the hilariously titled "Nissan, Honda, Chevy".
This was initially a solo freestyle by Joell before Jim Jones heard it and decided to hop on it.
Check it out below.
