Joell Ortiz and Apollo Brown recently headed into Sway In The Morning with Heather B to talk the release of their joint new 12-track album “Mona Lisa” which features Royce Da 5’9, KXNG Crooked and DJ Los that dropped on Mello Music Group. The album is entirely produced completely by Apollo Brown and is another classic from him in the same vein as Apollo’s other joint album’s that he has done with Cormega, Ras Kass, Ghostface Killah, Locksmith, Planet Asia, Skyzoo, OC of D.I.T.C., Guilty Simpson and Hassaan Mackey to date. Check their new full release here.

Joell Ortiz handles some difficult questions from Sway regarding the break-up of Slaughterhouse, the recent Joe Budden vs. Eminem beef and a lot more. He gives some unique insights into how both Just Blaze and Q-Tip were set to joint executive produce the upcoming Slaughterhouse album which didn’t eventuate for a release (yet… ). The quality project overall is a very welcome release and reminds us all of the quality in which both Ortiz and Apollo Brown have in their respective fields.
