Joell Ortiz & Novel Present - Defying The Predictable

Brooklyn heavyweight Joell Ortiz and Atlanta-based Renaissance musician Novel have joined forces to shake up the status quo with their brand new collaborative mixtape Defying the Predictable.

In addition to reader-acclaimed cuts “Stressful,” “Ghetto (Pt. 1)” and “Like I Know,” the set features guest appearances from a wide variety of artists, including Jadakiss, Spree Wilson, Saigon, and the entire Slaughterhouse crew. The project features production by Novel himself, as well as beats by Frequency and Statik Selektah.

Fans of both artists have a lot to look forward to in the months ahead. Novel will soon be unleashing his long-awaited, unreleased debut full-length, The Audiobiography. Next up for Joell is sophomore studio album Free Agent.

DJ Z DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 11866	Rating: DJ Z's Top Rated Songs I listened to this all the way through twice already today. You know how artists say all the time "You don't have to worry about pressing the fast forward button, you can listen all the way through." Most of them are full of sh*t. On this tape, however, that concept couldn't ring truer. Follow @DJBooth

Young Swish Tastemaker Total Ratings: 1231	Rating: Young Swish's Top Rated Songs This sets the bar for mixtapes this year, with many stand out tracks. "Hip Hop remix" is the best song on the mixtape which sees Saigon rip his verse apart.

"There aren't many artist who can make a funky mistape with soulful sounds with hard kicks and bass lines. Love it. Definitely I group of "bangers" on this mixtape." A Classic Mixtape and the beginning of "New HipHop" culture. I must say if Hiphop died, it must of been baptized because the old hiphop is gone and the "New HipHop" was just reincarnated on this mixtape"
