Birth name: Joseph Anthony Budden. Also known as: Joe Budden, Jump Off Joe, Regular Joe, Joey, Mouse, King of New Jerz, That Dude, Broadway Joe. Born: August 31, 1980 Spanish Harlem, New York, USA. Joe Budden biography (bio): Joseph Anthony Budden is an American rapper, born in Spanish Harlem, New York City but lived in Jersey City, New Jersey for most of his life. He has worked with artists such as LL Cool J, Busta Rhymes, Christina Milian, Marques Houston, Angela Via, Fabolous and Israeli rapper Subliminal and has been involved in feuds with rapper The Game and G-Unit. Budden's lyrical ability is regarded heavily underrated in many rap circles, however the rapper maintains a strong internet fanbase. Music career: His music initially gained popularity on New York City's influential mixtape circuit in 2002 when he did a collabo with New Jerseys group, OPT. (Crunch, Blackout & Unknown Origin) He is widely known for his work on mixtapes by such DJs as DJ Clue, Clinton Sparks, DJ On Point, DJ Big Mike and DJ Envy. His first studio album is called Joe Budden. Joe is currently working on his second album titled The Growth, however it has suffered numerous delays, leading some to speculate that the album is in some sort of music equivalent of development hell, though he denies this. The third mixtape installment of Mood Muzik, having now taken the title of "The Growth", will be released soon, DJ Onpoint says. The now untitled second album from Joe is still in the making, according to fan meeting accounts and a comment from Def Jam president Jay-Z. “I don’t have Joe Budden’s album in my hand. I try to be diplomatic about it. You’re trying to make the best product. I’m an artist, I understand. I don’t have Joe Budden’s album. It doesn’t make sense, why would I not put it out if it’s ready?” It is scheduled to come out sometime after Mood Muzik 3, many anxious Hip-Hop fans anticipate its long delayed release. Mood Muzik 3 (Prequel to The Growth): As Joe Budden stated in an interview, he's currently reviewing his options on how to release the next installment in the series. A few songs have already leaked on the Internet including "Unforgiven," "Last Real Ni**a Left," and "Where Did It Go Wrong." Joe Budden now has a new song "I Can Picture (Can't Control It)" with Mike Gainous. The song has the same beat as an old song of Joe Budden named "Club Song" which was released in 2006. In a recent interview on October 11th, 2007, Joe Budden states that the highly anticipated mixtape will be released in December. Controversy and Beef: G-Unit: In 2004, a feud was started between Joe and the G-Unit camp. On a mixtape freestyle Budden did with The Game and Stack Bundles ("Crosscountry Connection"), Game (who was still affiliated with G-Unit at the time) took offense to Joe's line, "[the] G-Unit [music] video with all the gangsta actors". The Game claimed that he was unaware that Budden was even going to be on the track and accused him of attempting to embarrass him by dissing G-Unit on a song featuring a G-Unit member. Diss songs were exchanged, with Game releasing the notorious diss "Buddens" (which used the instrumental from "Colors" by Ice T). Budden replied with "Game Over" (a song that used the instrumental to "It's Funky Enough" by The D.O.C.), in which Budden would call Game just "a replacement until [Tony] Yayo gets home".. Budden would later release a diss aimed at the whole of G-Unit titled "Big Shot" (which samples "Big Shot" by Billy Joel). The beef would later be ended in August 2004, as both men wished to focus on their careers and upcoming albums. Others: Prior to his debut album, Budden was involved in less-publicized feuds with other rappers on the NY mixtape circuit, including Ali Vegas and Team Arliss member Trav. Also, Joe raised eyebrows on a remix of "Pump it Up" featuring Jay-Z where the rappers appeared to be dissing each other. This has led to speculations of bad blood between the two being a factor in the constant delays his second album has suffered, since Jay Z is now the President of Joe's parent label - Def Jam. However, both men have denied this. Released From Def Jam: After months of speculation Joe Budden was released from Def Jam and made the following statement: "I'm just happy we were finally able to cut all ties. I feel like I have all the talent in the world, but for some reason was never able to showcase it there,I'm looking forward to whatever God has in store for me, and Joe Budden fans should know - today is a beautiful day." |
