Fresh from the relative success of Slaughterhouse, Joell Ortiz, the 25% of the group that hails from NYC, delivers "Brooklyn In The Building," a lyrically-sharp-as-always tribute to his home borough which rides over a rolling, breakbeat-infused track.

We've got two pairs of tickets to give away to check Slaughterhouse, Freeway and Pharoahe Monch at The Well, a new Brooklyn hotspot, along with AD & Willie The Kid, J The S, Da Circle and Paul Marz.

Thanks to Nas' 'Life Is Good' album and other NY-area rap artists and events making waves in both underground and mainstream hip hop, many now say New York hip hop is making a comeback. We just want to remind people that we predicted this years ago.

Joell Ortiz takes a moment from rocking with the rest of his Slaughterhouse crew to drop the video for "Iron On You," his interpolation of Pusha T's "Exodus 23:1" complete with gritty, black and white New York City scenery to match the mood.

Slaughterhouse (Joell Ortiz, Joe Budden, Royce the 5' 9" and Crooked I) delivers a video for the Cee-Lo Green-featured "My Life" that is high on campy special effects, with a little humor, and plenty of energy to match the anthemic sound of the track.
