Joell Ortiz, one quarter of Slaughterhouse, has announced his upcoming House Slippers album.
“I’m in a comfortable place,” he says of the album title in an interview with Complex. “I’m at home with this album.”
The project, set to be executive produced by The Heatmakerz, is also slated to feature a different perspective from Ortiz than the outlook he’s shown in past efforts.
“I decided to clean my life up,” he says. “In the process of doing all that, I started seeing better. Things started clearing up for me…Things are different for me and I’m excited about how people receive it.”
In January, Ortiz spoke about changing his life through getting in better shape.
“I learned a lot about weight loss, what weighs and what doesn’t,” he said in his January HipHopDX interview. “Muscle is heavy. At first, I took off like 50 to 60 pounds, scale-wise. When you are training and changing your body, you lose everything fast, because your body is reacting. It’s like, ‘Oh man, I guess this guy wants me to shred,’ so it’s eating up fat. As soon as you start weight training, you put on weight because of muscle mass, but you look the same as you did when you took that drastic weight off. I look exactly how I did 20 pounds ago, but it’s in muscle definition and muscle weight. Initially, I took off like 50 to 60 pounds, but now I may only be 30 pounds from where I started, but I look like a different person.”
Beyond his solo work, Ortiz has also been crafting Slaughterhouse’s Glass House.

That’s a really corny album title. They need to stop putting “House” in their project titles and expecting people to think it’s clever.
That DX troll who dedicated his life to bashing this guys weight is probably crying right now.
theres still Bronson, Ross and Fat Trel.
Album should be dope. Be sure to checkout thegrandreport, they have some good hip hop and viral videos on there
Joell Ortiz is nice, should be a solid album shame it won’t do more than 25k
as long as im one of those 25k, i could give a fuck less…album sales dont mean shit, the quality of it is all that matters
i cant stand puerto ricans. that being said, fuck this clown.
Eat a dick
^^ Fuck you and your people.
Hey Joell, what weights more, a ten pound of feathers or ten pounds of shit?
Also, why doesn’t this article say what label this is on?
Puerto Rican women are nice… when they young!
Wow, never seen a rapper take steroids, HGH, testosterone before…
Which is probably a better combination than ‘blunts,’ strip clubs & fast food but still…
I hope Joell wears his pink fuzzy slippers on the album covers, that’d be sweet.
Dude looks a lot healthier, good for him. Looking forward to hearing some new material. Trolls…im glad u have a hobby.
Lable? Besides frog voiced cornball fake Brooklyn ‘Rican? Hi coqui!!
yea spyccck, keep slippin on da street and real nikkas will murk u and deport the corpse back to puerto rico
how can you deport a Puerto Rican lame?
Puerto Ricans are American and Joell’s slippers are the ** cutest ** !!
I hear he gets pedicures too, sweeeeet.
$97/hr pavivdv by Google, I am making a good salary from home $5500-$7000/week , which is amazing, under a year ago I was jobless in a horrible economy. I thank God every day I was blessed with these instructions and now it’s my duty to pay it forward and share it with Everyone, Here is I started,,,

i want glass house
then joells lp
then royces lp
then joes lp
then crookeds lp
tanto odio pa los boricuas, y a mi gatos estan al tanto, pero me gusta su envidia jodidos
Finally something from Joe Ortiz.
this dudes 3rd best in his group….but thats only because crooked and royce are 2 of the best in the whole game in my opinion….joell is a beast, no doubt
Are you serious?
1)Budden
2)Ortiz
3)Royce
4)The Microphone
5)Notepad
6)Crook (MAYBE)
Crook is wack.
Ya your one groupie ass hoe crook maybe wow go listen to DJ Mustard’s new album it has alot of SIMPLE raps for you
hating ass trash hoe
Crooked I shits all over Joe Budden. That NBA single is enough for me never to listen to that wack niggas music again
Giovanis list looks like opposite day.
Joell is a man, not a beast.
Hopefully the producers alongside The Heatmakerz will be the likes of DJ Premier, The Alchemist, Large Professor, Nottz & Mr. Porter
Brother’s Keeper featuring Slaughterhouse
BASICALLY
So, you learned how to copy-paste. iWow. Amazing. Such experiences.
Hopefully no Alchemist production, he should stick to actually good (not overhyped bullshit producers like Alc) producers like Premier and Large Professor. Even Em makes better beats than Alchemist, and that’s a very sad thing (we all heard Slaughterhouse’s album… Terrible beats!).
For real, every Alchemist beat I ever heard sounded like some simple simon ass shit. Find a sample, Loop 4 bars of it up, throw stock drums behind it = Alchemist beat
He has made a couple of okay beats, but about 99 % of his “beats” are just like DJ Mustard’s bullshit 8 bar loop beats. He just uses different samples and no trap drums.
Ortiz is the Sheek Louch of Slaugtherhouse. If he dont use DJ Mustard beats he will flop. Also he need a Whiz Khalifa feature or a Drake feature.
He is not the sheek louch. Go away.
LMAO @ Drake feature, no one wants fags on their album
He needs Premier & Justice League with features from Jada & Fab
He sells less than Sheek Louch. How pathetic is that?
I’m looking forward to the album. Joell is a great rapper. His FREE AGENT cd is still a top notch album when I listen to it now.
I just got paid usd6784 working off my laptop this month. And if you think that’s cool, my divorced friend has twin toddlers and made over usd9k her first month. It feels so good making so much money when other people have to work for so much less. This is what I do
==================

==================
Can’t say that I’m looking forward to this pile of dirt.
Heatmakerz? Fuck off! DJ Mustard thats what he needs
Premo more like dick head
who’s premo? He new to the game? Never heard of him.
What about Mike Brown, Joell? You KNOW better but all you can do now is pimp this dogshit?
This must be the cheapest cover-art in history!
If the album is anything like the cover or his facial expression this is going to be the worst record of all time.
Agreed. And I like Joell.
lol the nigga is looking so depressed.
Used Windows Paint I see Joell well done
Fantastic artwork! Joell’s albums just get worse and worse…
Wonder what he thinks about #MIKE BROWN on Twitter?
Oh, nothing, huh?
Funny that’s where his priorities are, or aren’t.
oh wow he didn’t say anything about #mikebrown on twitter?!?!
fuck him I hope he gets aids
lololol what did you do about #mikebrown? talk about it on twitter for an hour? you makin a realll change out there bruh bruh
Joe Budden is WAAAAAYYYYY overrated
cover look like he tryin to sell me a button up
this looks soooooooooooooooooooooooooo shit
I hear Joell is a seasonal employee at Old Navy.
its true. I seen Joell in the jeans section with customers.
My last pay check was $9500 working 12 hours a week online. My sisters friend has been averaging 15k for months now and she works about 20 hours a week. I can’t believe how easy it was once I tried it out. This is what I do,,,,,,
============================
http://WWW.CASHTOT.COM
============================
only good thing about #MIKE BROWN is he didn’t have to see or hear this album…
Joell actually made a half-good album, once, it’s called “The Brick”…
Ever since then it’s been one embarrassment after another.
half good? that album is an instant classic. not one wack track on there.
word. that album is a classic. this album cover sucks balls but the brick is a dope ass album. idk wtf happnd wit free agent but there was a couple good songs on that too especially battle cry
This has to be the plainest cover art ever. I seen mixtape covers that had more quality then this. It looks like a modeling ad from Old Navy. Hopefully he doen’t rap as lazy as this cover looks. Spitting Burlington Coat Factory bars. At least show us some slippers.
Joell blew his album budget on the features and production that he didnt save any for the album cover. Haha he used Microsoft Paint for this WOAT cover. Shady is the illest but a TERRIBLE Label Boss.
here i’m is!!!
slaughterhouse is signed to shady as a group not as solo artists they drop their solo shit independently or through E1 records
and who really gives a fuck about the cover art being simple its not like you were gunna buy it anyway
Bye bye!
@THE TRUTH
You must be Joell Ortiz cause nobody would get that butthurt over a comment. But since you comment of this site, you the weakest in your group bruh.
I am not joell Ortiz my good man nor was I butthurt over a comment it was simply a response to your ignorance sir
good day!
^This
oh wow the cover looks stupid… the font is stupid… who the FUCK cares?! it’ll be a dope album, he’s in a whole other state of mind, fuck wrong with y’all? go listen to Battle Cry get a real opinion of dude…
y’all buggin over an album cover LMAO
exactly. the hip hop “fans” online are pathetic. people here going crazy over the art cover. wow. irrelevant
They should’ve hired a graphic designer for that album cover instead of Joell’s mom. I’m sure she did her best though…
I’ll do it next time, pro bono, just call me: NextExitGraffics(dot)com
Who cares what it sounds like– can Joell Ortiz ever be “interesting”? I think not…
But the cover art is DREAMY!!
You get ’em Joell.
Maybe next time you can be barefoot in white pants, your boat shoes casually kicked off to the side.
joell ortiz is one of the best right now and has been since he started. smh
for all the great graffiti heritage of NYC… that’s what this clown comes up with?
and what font is that anyway, Joell?
nice handstyle sweetcheeks!
can I get a poster too?
I am a graphic designer and I would have done it for free. One of my favorites emcees and this is the best album cover they come up with? I’m upset with the decision…LOL!
album cover is absolute shit
You cornballs are so cheesy …If you are only interested in the album covers you effeminate cornballs will absolutely love the “Mariah Carey” album cover “Glitter” it’s very sparkly and glittery .LOL
ROFL.This site attracts the living in moms basement weirdos like flies on shit
basement nigga? i’m slim thugg’n in the muh’fuckin living room. she’s fixin’ to cook me a meatloaf right meow. and i’m 45
damn nigga. that album cover sucks. the albums gonna be tight but put more creativity into the album covers my nigga. that shit is part of the art 2
You mean too thought I would correct that for you.
Agreed. This is a horrible album cover. He looks pensive, like “will this album smash?” Granted, he shouldn’t be in a hoodie and Timbs, but the setting/wardrobe/body position is just “off.” He looks like he’s waiting for his date to come out the bathroom in Cheesecake Factory while he’s holding in shit cramps so he can beat it later that night with a clean ass.
Gotta say like everyone else what the fuck is up with that cover yo? im sure the bars n beats are gon be fire but why the album cover lookin like he tryin to sell me a knockoff shirt at the dollar tree store
Not sure why some of you are getting so worked up by the cover .
The albums called (House Slippers) not (Guns Or Butter) or (Nightlub Dreams) It’s obviously supposed to be simple and more grown up .
You trolls are so simple minded.
It could use a little more work, you gotta admit. Looks like a mixtape cover.
naw man look at that cover. i understand its supposed to be simple and what not, but they just took a lame picture and slapped some generic font on it. he looks like hes at the mall waiting for his girl to finish trying on clothes in the dressing room, all miserable and shit. name the shit house slippers but hes dressed like hes goin to a fancy dinner. gotta say i disagree with ya bruh.
He’s bent over like he’s taking a shit. This album cover is weak. I love dude, support his music and the whole nine. I just don’t understand what he’s pushing this time around. So far, the music is average. I understand dude “has arrived”, but still, you’re from Cooper fam. Grow up and move up, but this is hip-hop. You have to remain ill. So far, these first three released tracks are just “cool.” Don’t let those house slippers fool you. In other words don’t overestimate success or confuse who you are musically.
I think a better cover art would have been(in black in white)Ortiz laid back in the recliner, puffing a cigar with his robe and HOUSE SLIPPERS on reading the newspaper. The newspaper has SLAUGHTERHOUSE clearly visible
wow! its come to this!!!? trolls taking shots at the cover!!!????
mutha fucka this is hip hop!!
My last pay check was $9500 working 12 hours a week online. My sisters friend has been averaging 15k for months now and she works about 20 hours a week. I can’t believe how easy it was once I tried it out. This is what I do,,,

==================
sad to say i haven’t heard anything impressive from this guy since like 2010 battle cry…. 3 albums in 7 years and the first two were ehhh….hopefully this one is decent but he just doesn’t sound hungry anymore
Joell – you agreed/didn’t contest this photo for you album? You’re my dude, but you like you have a load in your pants.
just something about a fat dude who loses weight that makes his head look big….NO HOMO
That shirt looks really small.
haha. obviously the cover is supposed to be generic and simple on purpose. he’s in a new space, he’s a normal/regular/round the block dude. he’s not tryna be extra.
I’m more interested in the music, im sure it will be good.
with the great legacy of Puerto Rican artists… ** this ** is the fucking garbage this clown puts out? Really?
What an embarrassment.
40 year old man finally realized he shouldn’t be wasting $$$ and time in idiot strip clubs, wow, he’s “evolved”!
Maybe he’ll read a book this years and really blow minds.

i hate white rappers
features are beyond wack and so is the cover
the cover is mad wack, features could be better, like featuring Chino XL, Chris Rivers (Pun’s son), Immortal Technique, etc.
the production kinda weird, like the drums are muffled on most songs
Worse cover ever LMAO, this nigga getting old SMH. Look like one of those old albums that sit in Walmart.
