Joell Ortiz once again has the ‘net on buzz after a vicious freestyle on Hot 97′s Funkmaster Flex Show, once again helping demonstrate why he was chosen for our inaugural “5 Reasons Why NY Hip Hop Doesn’t Suck“.
We last saw Joell Ortiz at the B.B. King Blues Club on August 11, alongside Flex for one of his birthday bashes, which featured an assortment of NY-centric hip hop heads as well, including C.N.N., Camron, Ja Rule, D-Block and DJ Premier.

Ortiz engaged in a spirited performance that night, including a bit of “Call Me,” which was captured on video by BirthplaceMag.com writer Steven Ortiz, who was in attendance.
