All About Joe

Tonight on 106 Joe Budden talks new album!

"Runaway" - The drug abuse that Joe's hinted at throughout this album gets a full treatment here. His lyrics are another breath of fresh air — he has to be one of the most brutally honest rappers ever. But yet again, another kitschy sung hook and middle-of-the-road beat threaten to overshadow his great performance.  (Photo: WENN.com)
Self Titled - In 2003, Joe Budden released his self-titled debut album which spawned the hit "Pump It Up." The song was featured as the final battle song in the cult dance flick You Got Served.  (Photo: Def Jam)
Born and Raised - Although Joe Budden reps New Jersey to the fullest, the colorful rapper was born and raised in NYC before moving across the Hudson and settling in Jersey City. (photo: John Ricard / BET)
Halfway House - Taking a more independent route and a more honest approach to his music, in 2008 Joe Budden released his album Halfway House.(Photo: Amalgam Digital)"Ghetto Burbs" feat. Emanny - Joe Budden finally turns up the temperature with lively production and turns the introspection outward, intelligently discussing street life and how to escape it. Emanny sings another hook but with better results, this time dialing back the Auto-Tune and melodrama.   (Photo: Joe Budden/Instagram)
