Slaughterhouse Talks Shady Studio Sessions

The all-star Slaughterhouse, meanwhile, is "about six songs" into its first Shady album, the follow-up to 2009's "Slaughterhouse" album and an EP released earlier this year, both for E1. "We were out in L.A. for the Grammys and did three or four sessions," says the group's Detroit-based MC Royce da 5'9". Since then, he adds, the group -- which also includes Crooked I, Joe Budden and Joell Ortiz -- have been e-mailing ideas back and forth for additional tracks, which he says are "real personal, talking about something in particular, things we've been through -- something a lot of critics can't do, so we're excited to show 'em we can."
