Some could argue that Joe Budden‘s rocky history with Def Jam was a blessing in disguise for the veteran emcee; in addition to sparking a strong underground buzz, Budden’s trials and tribulations helped turn him into the lyricist he is today.  Additionally, the New Jersey native has the advantage of having been a long time hip-hop follower; Jumpoff Joey remembers that back in the day, music was less about the money and more about The Soul.  With his symphonic production, Cardiak helps add more soul to The Soul (sorry, I couldn’t resist) and evokes not only the audience’s greatest memories, but also the hope that a new, similar age is upon us.  Joe Budden’s digital exclusive, Halfway House, is available today, with the long-anticipated Padded Room scheduled for release on February 24.

Wow. This is like the best Joe Budden joint I've heard! The sample WAS ON POINT! Joe's lyrics were so ill, and mad nostalgic! This is a certain classic! Off the chains. I am officially a fan.

Can't wait for this album. Once again his lyrics are amazing. Although I don't like it as much as "The Who" series,this is still great.

This is a definate banger. His flow and lyrics made the song. I think i am also truly becoming a Joe Budden fan. Whatever he is doing, it must be good.

This is a quality song, his flow is really good and the production is real hip hop. It's not my kind of song, though...as ya'll know I prefer more commercial ones. But I appreciate talented artists so I give this a 3,5
