Who Is Joe Budden?
Joe Budden (born August 31, 1980) is an American hip hop artist from Jersey City, New Jersey, who, in addition to being as a solo artist, is a member of the American hip hop supergroup Slaughterhouse, alongside Royce da 5'9", Joell Ortiz, and Crooked I.
His most commercially successful single is the song "Pump It Up", from his self-titled album, which contains production from renowned producer Just Blaze. He was formerly signed to major label Def Jam, but left for personal reasons and for them pushing away his album releases. After his splitting from this label, he began recording and releasing mix tapes and albums on independent labels.
Joe Budden was born in Jersey City. Uninterested in school, and despite excelling in primary school, he began abusing drugs. After an emotional confrontation with his mother, Budden willingly went into rehab on July 3, 1997. Joe Budden began freestyling, first at his high school with acquaintances against whom he claims that he always won battles. He eventually made appearances on several New York mixtapes with the likes of DJ Clue, DJ Kayslay, and Cutmaster C.
In the year 2003, Budden released his debut solo studio album, Joe Budden. It included Budden's 2003 Grammy-nominated summer hit "Pump It Up", and was also featured in the soundtrack for the movie 2 Fast 2 Furious and the video games Def Jam Vendetta, Def Jam Fight for NY, and Madden NFL 2004. The song "Focus" was also featured in the game and Joe Budden was also a character. Its second single was "Fire" featuring Busta Rhymes, which was in the movie Mean Girls. The song "Drop Drop" was featured on the soundtrack for the movie Cradle 2 the Grave. Joe has hinted in many songs that he was a recovering drug addict and has reaffirmed his position several times through multiple outlets.
Budden's sophomore release titled The Growth was hampered due to the label's problems with Joe, which included his Def Jam seniors not agreeing with the direction of his music. The album was not released, and continued disagreements between Budden and Def Jam forced the two sides to part ways. However, Budden managed to release the first and second installments of his Mood Muzik mixtape series while on Def Jam, and the series has been met with critical acclaim.
Joe Budden reached out to Crooked I, Royce da 5'9", Joell Ortiz and Nino Bless for a track titled "Slaughterhouse" on one of his Amalgam Digital releases, Halfway House. Based on the reception of the track, they decided to form a group, minus Nino Bless, and named it after the first song they made together. They released numerous songs throughout early 2009, leading up to their self-titled album, which was released through E1 on August 11, 2009. The album features production from The Alchemist, DJ Khalil, Mr. Porter, Streetrunner, plus guest appearances from Pharoahe Monch, K. Young, and The New Royales. The group signed with Shady Records on January 12, 2011.
In early 2012, Joe Budden and Emanny teamed up with a few producers to form the group SLV (Summer Leather Vest). Joe Budden and Emanny are the only two vocalists.
On August 24, 2012, Budden announced he will release a mixtape named "A Loose Quarter" via Twitter.
On November 9, 2012, DatPiff.com announced that "A Loose Quarter" will be released on November 23, 2012, at Midnight. Following that he will release his next album No Love Lost on February 5, 2013.
