That’s Hip Hop

That’s Hip-Hop, Joell aims to capture the best of both worlds but clearly leans more towards what you’d expect-razor sharp bars met with battle orientated delivery. Although he does manage to bring a decent amount of singable hooks and non traditional instrumentation to a handful of tracks, it isn’t hard to tell that Joell focused most of his efforts into crafting the slickest metaphors and similes humanly possible.

The first thing you hear Joell Ortiz say on his new album, That's Hip-Hop , is that "the 15-year-old kid that cyphered on the block wants to battle, that guy in me wants to battle, but the recording artist wants to stay out of that ring."
