Music Inside Joe Budden’s Padded Room

It’s not too hard to believe that the record industry drove Joe Budden a little crazy. Being forced by your favorite rapper to ride pine after your debut album spawned a top 10 single and went on to go Gold, would fuck anyone’s head up. And then there were the random beefs. First the war of words with label head Jay Z , then G-Unit and the Game and then most recently Incarcerated P. It seemed the only thing keeping homey sane was his critically acclaimed Mood Muzik mixtape series, where he was able to freely vent his frustrations.

His second full length on Amalgam Digial, Padded Room, picks up where Mood Musik 3 left off, once again allowing Joe to get crazy personal with his listeners and brining them into his world. Way ahead of it’s October 28th release, Joey let us in the studio to hear what he’s got in the chamber.
