Joell Ortiz - Call Me
Artist: Joell Ortiz
Featuring: Novel
Producer: Novel
Album: Free Agent
Label: Lush Life/eOne
After Joell Ortiz’s team at Aftermath failed to secure a victory for his very dope debut album The Brick: Bodega Chronicles, the Brooklyn born lyrical bomber decided to strike out on his own and test the free agent waters. After teaming up with other lyrically devastating peers to form Slaughterhouse, Ortiz is back with his new single Call Me. Originally leaked back in January, Call Me is now fully official, complete with throwback production and vocals from Booth favorite Novel for Ortiz to spit his back-in-the-day flows over: “She had the gold hoops with her name on em, I had the Coliseum fronts with the fangs on em.” Damn that brings me back. Will Ortiz finally find the solo success he’s been looking for when his upcoming album Free Agent drops? If Call Me is any indication, free agency was a very good move.

Finally, we have the opportunity to feature the full version of this record. Joell puts on his usual lyrical display and Novel (along with Frequency who did some dope drum programming) sounds fantastic.

good record. and don't get me wrong I also love Novel. but he seriously needs to step it up with his productions. 95% of his catalogue is sample-based. I wanna hear also his own melodies and ideas on the beats, not just the vocals nahmean.

The mark of a dope artist is one who can spit about a chick but still keep it lyrical! We need to really support the whole Slaughterhouse movement! I like how they rocked that "Al Green" joint, and how this sh*t feel like summertime old-skool ish!
And having Novel on your track only means one thing, I can't rate any lower than maximum!!! |

Only a real MC could be in a group called Slaughterhouse and do a track talking about math class and scrunchies. Been a JO supporter since the beginning, and this track is why.
