While many Joe Budden fans are anticipating an amazing album from Slaughterhouse after their signing with Shady Records, some fans of his solo work may be happy with a recent leak from his unreleased vault. The record, entitled Ayo, was scratched from the album The Great Escape, but it’s not immediately clear why. Produced by Chris Loco, the song contains mellow long held synths complimented by a heavy bass and snare; it’s one of those songs that is perfect to cruise around to or relax with after a long day. While popular singer Emmany brings a catchy hook and a little soul, Joey comes in with a strong tone and at times appears to outright angry on the mic (what else is new?). With an aggressive delivery and heavy punch lines, it seems like the Jersey native might be trying a little too hard to get his points across, but as always no emcee says more in such a short time than Mr. Budden. Did he make the right move keeping Ayo off the album? We’ll just have to continue to wait for The Great Escape to know for sure.

Lets be real - Joe Budden doesn't make weak records. He makes strong records. Some are just more enthralling, or shorter, or more engaging, or deeper than others. No matter what, though, they're skilled and worthy of your ears.

Joey B is at his finest when he has his Crooked and the rest of slaughterhouse supporting him. I like Joe's flow, but his anger doesnt really fit the beat and the hook. It's an OK track, but it is understandable why it was cut from The Great Escape.

You can never sleep on Budden, but don't a lot of Budden tracks just end up sounding the same? In an ironic way it's almost easy to tune them out.
Solid, but it wouldn't have been an album standout - I'm guessing it's the right move to leave it off Great Escape.

@ Nathan ~ I agree, but in a strange way, it's just as easy to tune into them. When I first listened to this I thought Ok, but it really is a smooth track.

Song smacks you in the face with the hook from the very beginning. Joe Budden has been on a consistent streak for a long time. Its time for mainstream media to take him back....lol

It has become quite apparent that these two can put down a satisfactory piece together.
With the song 'Short Summer' to add to the collection of these talented artists i find it soft as well as compelling. |

The hook deserves to be on the album. Budden, however doesn't overly impress here and thats why it was left off the album.
