I have been a fan of Slaughterhouse almost since their inception. When I heard "The One"before their debut album was released, I was sold on their chemistry. If you know anything of their preceding solo careers, then you too must have been overcome with the news of them signing to Shady, where they could finally get the big push that they deserve.
