After signing a deal with Dr. Dre‘s Aftermath Records, Joell Ortiz is now set to drop his album,
The Brick (Bodega Chronicles), on the always open and always independent Koch Records.
The record is being used as a “preview” for Ortiz’s more street-oriented material, while his Aftermath album will be released late in 2007.
Ortiz previously won the graces of TheSource magazines’
“Unsigned Hype” and was selected as a “Chairman’s Choice” as well, the
Brooklyn, NY native earned much of his acclaim from his catalogue of
mix-tape work.
Ortiz’s single, “Brooklyn,” received a fair amount of spins on New York’s Hot 97 and a few on Power 106 in Los Angeles as well as being featured on mix-tapes by several DJs including
Whoo Kid and Kay Slay.
The LP will feature a slew of guest appearances from Immortal Technique, M.O.P., Ras Kass, Big Noyd, Grafh and Stimuli. The disc will alsofeature production from The Alchemist, Showbiz, Fame
of M.O.P., Moss and others.
