Joe Budden - Dreamerz
Artist: Joe Budden
Featuring: Emanny
Producer: J. Cardim
Album: Mood Muzik 4.5
Label: eOne
For many rappers, dreams are a positive experience, driving them forward with visions of the fame and fortune that lies in their (potential) future. Step into the psyche of a slumbering Joe Budden, however, and you’ll find no paradise, but rather a dark world in which the Slaughterhouse emcee does battle with his many personal demons. So, it’s pretty much like his music. On new mixtape leak Dreamerz, the Jersey mainstay offers a nocturnal perspective on the much-publicized relationship and breakup he chronicled in his Ordinary Love Sh*t trilogy. Backed by J. Cardim‘s haunting choral-synth instrumental (complete with a bluesy guitar solo), Budden once again puts their romantic quarrels and falling-out under the microscope, ultimately admitting that his emotional issues may have doomed their love from the start: “I’m selfish not selfless, and I say that with love / so in essence you’re asking for what I’m incapable of.” Topped off with the heartbroken hook and bridge vocals of frequent collaborator Emanny, this melancholy banger is just one of many set for inclusion on Mood Music 4.5, set to hit iTunes this Tuesday, May 24.

This is top notch work from Joe Budden, and Emanny's hook is quite captivating even though it's modified. J. Cardim totally passed his test of 'I owned this beat.' Yessir you did.

I would love to be in the studio, or wherever Joey writes his lines, to see the thought process that he goes through to pen a cathartic record like "Dreamerz." Its an exhausting, emotional listen, so I can't even imagine what the creative process was like.

I dunno, maybe I'm just tired of hearing about his broken heart from some broad.. Just doesn't make me have a good mindstate while listening. Song is alright other than that...

The track is sick.. felt like budden was pouring out his guts on this track while emanny perfectly harmonizes with the beat (that went hard btw)
