E1 Music, former Koch Records, announced this week the signing of four-man supergroup Slaughterhouse, made up of Joell Ortiz, Royce Da 5'9, Joe Budden and Crooked I.

Through the new deal, the group plans to release their highly anticipated debut on July 7th. No title has been revealed.

The four emcees joined forces only 10 short months ago, when Joe Budden was working on a song for his Halfway House album and enlisted the services of Crooked I, Joell Ortiz and Royce Da 5'9 for a song called "Slaughterhouse." Inspired by the vibe of track and the immediate chemistry of the four rappers, a plan was immediately made to form the supergroup. Several songs and a handful of viral videos later only created increased demand and curiosity from fans.

With a buzz and deal in place, Slaughterhouse is now able to give fans what they want.

They are now in the studio recording songs for its official upcoming debut album, which will feature production by The Alchemist, Streetrunner, DJ Khalil and Denaun Porter.

Among working track titles of songs set to be included on the album are "Not Tonight," "Microphone," "Number 1" and "Cuckoo."

"This group is really something special and this summer I'm excited to show the world what we have to offer," said Royce Da 5'9. "If you thought that we were just gonna release a few tracks to the net and then disappear you are in for a very rude awakening."

"We did an entire album in 6 days. When you genuinely love what you're doing everything is effortless. It was like a long party. I can't wait for the fans to experience this album," adds Joell Ortiz.

In addition to the debut album, Slaughterhouse will be touring this summer, on both the Rock The Bells tour and on a club tour around the RTB's dates.
