One fourth of Slaughterhouse and a vicious MC in his own right, Joell Ortiz sat down with VladTV correspondent Jenny Boom Boom to discuss his new album “House Slippers,” being comfortable in his own skin, acting aspirations, and what he liked about collaborating with B.o.B. Ortiz reveals that he named the album “House Slippers” because he’s in a comfortable place in his life, feeling healthier than he’s ever been after giving up alcohol, cigarettes, and choosing to work out on a consistent basis. The Brooklyn spitter also reveals that he’d love to pursue acting, saying that when he’s done touring for the new album he plans to spend some time in Los Angeles weighing his options. He says that Tom Hanks is his favorite actor and Sandra Bullock may be his favorite actress.
