Rap Supergroup Slaughterhouse to Release Debut Aug. 28

Slaughterhouse has announced a new release date, August 28th, for  welcome to: Our House , the rap supergroup’s first album on Shady Records/Interscope.  Meanwhile, the video for the album’s “My Life” featuring Cee Lo Green and produced by StreetRunner and Sarom, debuted last week on BET’s “106 & Park.”  One of the most anticipated and explosive albums of the year, welcome to: Our House , executive produced by Eminem, is the second album from the creative collaboration of Crooked I, Joe Budden, Joell Ortiz and Royce da 5’9″.

Brash and outspoken, bringing together the East Coast, West Coast and Detroit, Slaughterhouse issued a self-titled EP last year and was featured on “Loud Noises” on the gold-certified, #1-charting Hell: The Sequel from Bad Meets Evil, the collaboration between Royce and Eminem.  The group was previously heard on “Session One,” a bonus track on Eminem’s 2010 blockbuster Recovery, following their debut, indie-issued album in 2009.  Widely acclaimed as individual artists, the group formed in late 2008 after Crooked I from Long Beach, CA, Joell Ortiz from Brooklyn, NY and Royce da 5’9″ from Detroit appeared on “Slaughterhouse” on the Halfway House  album from Harlem-born, New Jersey-raised Joe Budden.  They then named the collective after the song.

The next offering from  welcome to: Our House  is the Mr. Porter produced “Throw It Away” featuring Swizz Beatz.  The track will debut on mix-shows nationwide this weekend and will be available Monday, July 2nd exclusively at iTunes.

Something from Nothing: The Art of Rap hits theaters June 15th

Ice-T takes us on an intimate journey into the heart and soul of hip-hop with the legends of rap music. This performance documentary goes beyond the stardom and the bling to explore what goes on inside the minds, and erupts from the lips, of the grandmasters of rap. Recognized as the godfather of Gangsta rap, Ice-T is granted unparalleled access to the personal lives of the masters of this artform that he credits for saving his life. Interspersed with the performers’ insightful, touching, and often funny revelations are classic raps, freestyle rhymes, and never before heard a cappellas straight from the mouths of the creators. What emerges is a better understanding of, and a tribute to, an original American art form that brought poetry to a new generation.
