Slaughterhouse: New Label, New EP, New Music (Listen & Download)

I'm going to assume that if you care enough about hip-hop to even be on RefinedHype in the first place you already know the big news; Slaughterhouse (Crooked I, Joe Budden, Joell Ortiz & Royce da 5'9") just signed to Shady Records, along with Yelawolf. Only time will tell how things ultimately work out, but as of right now, it's a fan-fing-tastic move for all parties involved. We can only hope that this signals a return to truly lyrical rap.

As the Shady balls gets rolling the Slaughterhouse crew is also preparing to dish out a six track, self-titled EP, set to drop February 8. Cover art, tracklist and two new songs ("Put Some Money On It" ft. The Lox and "Back on the Scene" ft. Dres) are below.


1. Back on the Scene f. Dres
2. Sun Doobie
3. Everybody Down
4. Put Some Money On It (Remix) f. The Lox
5. Fight Club (Remix)
6. Move On (Remix) f. Iffy

So what's the consensus from RefinedHype Nation? Is the new Shady Records roster cause for celebration, or only a nice idea that won't truly amount to anything?
