"QK10 draws near its close with the release of Deacon The Villain & Sheisty Khrist’s brand joint-project, Niggaz With Latitude (NWL.).
After an explosive appearance by Sheisty Khrist on CunninLynguists 2008 album Dirty AcresNiggaz With Latitude was born. left fans clamoring for more, Deacon The Villain searched for the perfect opportunity to pair his long-overlooked talents as a producer with Sheisty’s bombastic vocals in an album format. Thus, the concept for
This 13-track gem is produced entirely by Deacon The Villain, with two clutch offerings from fellow QN5 beatsmiths Kno(of CunninLynguists) and Kokayi. Guest vocal appearances are scored by Natti, PackFM, Mino Slick, the aforementioned Kno & Bianca Spriggs along with the musical stylings of Soul Akoben and guitarist Willie Eames.
Tracks like “American Greed” and Rip The Guts” take the listener for a tour of society’s shadowy corners while “Ascension” and “Final Call” connect with an airy spirituality not-often heard in modern Hip Hop. An open-booth policy was kept during the recording process, with the Kentucky-natives trading places often, challenging each other to up the ante with each verse. The result is a thoroughly dense, rough-around-the-edges musical bombshell that manages to add another distinctively insightful chapter into the annals of southern soul."

"For a lot of New Yorkers, Joell Ortiz is a fresh breath of air in the hip hop world. He’s proud to represent his city and there is no mistaking that his music and rugged flow is strictly NYC-bred, a trend that is dying as New York’s influence on the current sound of hip hop is gradually slipping. He’s also a true fan of the genre, as evidenced by his most recent mixtape where he covered classic hip hop songs. Riding a huge wave of underground buzz a couple of years ago, Ortiz eventually found himself with a deal at Dr. Dre’s Aftermath Entertainment. Being able to work with a music icon such as Dre would have been a dream come true for any aspiring MC, but disappointed with the stagnation for getting his own album into stores—a trait all too common with Aftermath, Ortiz asked for his release from one of the biggest hip hop labels in the game. Now, as a “free agent,” Ortiz is continuing to make music on his own terms with little worry of having his album pushed back. Besides the Slaughterhouse project, this is Joell Ortiz’s first album since the departure."
