Joseph Anthony Budden II (born August 31, 1980), who goes by Joe Budden, is an American rapper.
Music career
His debut solo studio album was Joe Budden. The album included Budden's 2003 summer hit "Pump It Up", which was also featured in the soundtrack for the movie 2 Fast 2 Furious video game Def Jam Vendetta. The song "Focus" was also featured in the game and Joe Budden was also a character. Its second single was "Fire" featuring Busta Rhymes. The song "Drop Drop" was featured on the soundtrack for the movie Cradle 2 the Grave. The album debuted at #8 on the Billboard 200 charts and gave Budden his only top 10 single, "Pump It Up".
In 2004, Budden began work on his second album, titled The Growth. However, it suffered numerous delays, leading fans to speculate that the album was in some sort of development hell, though he and Def Jam, denied this. It was later confirmed that The Growth was canceled by Def Jam and Joe has since gotten a deal with Amalgam Digital.
With his second studio album delayed, Budden kept to the streets with a series of mixtapes called Mood Muzik.
In the song "Roc Cafe," featuring verses by Memphis Bleek and Beanie Sigel, with a sample of Jay-Z during the chorus, Dame Dash announces that Joe Budden is officially signed to Roc-A-Fella Records. This song was released in 2005, just before Jay-Z left Roc-A-Fella for Def Jam.
In 2008, Mood Muzik 3: For Better or for Worse was re-released in a retailed version as Mood Muzik 3: The Album. The album was meant to serve as a prelude to his second album, entitled Padded Room to have been released on October 28, 2008. Due to complications with the physical product, Padded Room was pushed back from October 28, 2008 to February 24, 2009.
Joe Budden and Amalgam Digital decided to release Halfway House, a digital-only album, on October 28, 2008 as a prequel to the album. This is the first digital-only hip-hop release employing both traditional marketing methods (commercial radio, video, advertising campaigns, etc.) and new media viral marketing initiatives. The album is released exclusively in digital format.
