Joe Budden has been a hot topic in hip-hop throughout this entire summer, notably because of his numerous disses toward Drake, which have brought on plenty of discussion. Aside from the spars with Drake, Budden currently working on his new collaborative album, Rage & the Machine, with aarabMUZIK, which features the lead single, "Flex," with Tory Lanez and Fabolous. On Thursday, Budden returns with the official video for the single, which takes the crew to an epic pool party, with Budden, Lanez, and Loso living it up with plenty of ladies.
Of course, Budden has been known for his epic pool parties for years now, so this video seems to be a good dose of reality, and even includes Joe rapping in the sauna with a female companion at one point. “The “Flex” video shoot was like a never ending party, it was lit” araab told Complex. "Me, Joe and Tory in the corner playing beats and freestyling, Fab came thru and we turnt all the way up. Just me and my bros doing what we do best with some beautiful women. It got me feeling like the summers mine."
While there is no firm timetable for when the album will drop, the anticipation continues to rise with every drop. "I hope y’all enjoy the video as much as we enjoyed making it," Budden explained. You can purchase "Flex" on iTunes here, and enjoy the video above.
