Brooklyn MC, Joell Ortiz, returns with his newest collaborative release, Human, with producer !LLMIND, due out July 17. He brings you “Latino Pt. 2” along with his fellow Latino MCs, Emilio Rojas, Bodega Bamz, & Chris Rivers. As part 2 of the popular “Latino” from The Brick project, Joell touches on real and timely issues that are effecting today’s America. With the heavy presence of cultural instrumentation and raw lyrics, “Latino Pt. 2” speaks to the people and encourages them proud to be who they are and proud of where they’re from.
“I had a record on my very first album called ‘Latino.’ It meant a lot to me because I’m very proud to be Puerto Rican and a Latino that made it in this game. With that being said, I know exactly how tough it is to get into the hip hop scene and be respected/validated when you’re a Latino. I wanted to give Bodega Bamz, Emilio Rojas, and Chris Rivers the opportunity they so well deserved,” Joell Ortiz says, “All of them young brothers have been grinding and making a name for themselves out here. It was an honor to have them feature on my album. Latinos is one of my favorite records on Human. Thanks fellaz!”
