Joe Budden's self-titled debut features the Jersey City rapper on more than a dozen tunes, backed by his longtime crew. Formerly known on mix tapes as "Regular Joe," Budden keeps it real on lyrically tough tunes such as "Pusha Man," "Survivor," and "Stand Up Nucca." He also offers up some therapeutic personal tracks, including the string-laden "Walk Wit Me" and the melancholy "Calm Down." To make his first album even more explosive, Budden brings in special guests Busta Rhymes (on "Fire"), Lil' Mo (on "She Wanna Know"), and 112 (on "Ma Ma Ma"). A promising first outing, JOE BUDDEN reveals a bright future for the ambitious Jersey native.
