Latino / Brooklyn - Joel Ortiz


"Big Chino got a truck an' a bike an' a boat..
But Chino got a gun cuz his life fulla coke..
An' Chino havin' fun, he don't like bein' broke..
But Chino gon' be done.. FBI is no joke..
An' I don't want Chi to get knocked..
When the truck around, he buy ice cream for the block..
See where I'm from.. the kids look up to the hustlers..
Even if they family was some of the customers.."
- Joel Ortiz

For those who don't know.. Ortiz is signed to Dr.Dre's Aftermath label and he's quickly proving to be one of the top lyricists in the game.. I feel like if any one can take Hip Hop back to its roots.. It's Brooklyn's own Joel Ortiz.. Now that he got Dr.Dre and the machine behind him.. I hope he gets the shine he deserves! LATINOS STAND UP! His latest album "The Brick" is in stores now!
