Free Agent represents the sophomore studio album effort from American rapper Joell Ortiz, officially released on February 22, 2011, under the E1 Music label in the United States. This project succeeds his 2007 release, The Brick: Bodega Chronicles.
Prior to its official launch, the album was prematurely leaked online about three months in advance through Amazon.com, though it was swiftly taken down. Ortiz parted ways with E1 (previously known as Koch Records) to sign with Shady Records and become a member of the supergroup Slaughterhouse. On November 4, 2010, he confirmed via Twitter that his contract with E1 had ended; nevertheless, Free Agent was still distributed by the same label.
The production roster features contributions from notable producers such as DJ Premier, Large Professor, Knobody, DJ Khalil, Sean C & LV, Mr. 187, Broadway, Dookie Fingazz, Nottz, Frank Dukes, and Yuri Zwadiuk. Guest artists appearing on the album include The Lox, Just Blaze, and Dookie Fingazz.
Commercial reception
Upon release, the album entered the Billboard 200 chart at position #173, moving 4,000 units during its initial week.
