Continued disagreements between Budden and Def Jam forced the two sides to part ways. The production of the album appeared to end up in a development hell and was ultimately not released. Joe has hinted in many songs that he was a recovering drug addict and has reaffirmed his position several times through multiple outlets.Īfter his debut album, Budden's sophomore release titled ‘The Growth’ was hampered due to the label's problems with Joe and his Def Jam seniors not happy with the direction of his music. The song "Drop Drop" was featured on the soundtrack for the movie Cradle 2 the Grave. Its second single was " Fire" featuring Busta Rhymes, which was in the movie Mean Girls. The song "Focus" was also featured in the game and Joe Budden was also a character. It included Budden's 2003 Grammy-nominated summer hit " Pump It Up", and was also featured in the soundtrack for the movie 2 Fast 2 Furious and the video games Def Jam Vendetta & Def Jam Fight for NY. In the year 2003, Budden released his debut solo studio album, Joe Budden.
Budden heard music in his home (his father is an emotional multi-instrumentalist) and on the streets while he grew up. He is one of five boys (one older brother and three younger brothers - two are twin brothers). Budden was born in Spanish Harlem, but lived in Queens until he was 12 and from there moved to Jersey City, New Jersey.
