He got with the right producer.


Moreso...right engineer.


I gotta say...as a Joe fan..I found this to be solid but not great. He had great tracks like Idol but tracks like time for work should have been so mich better.

3.75/5


That said, Joe, Phonte, Torae, Roots, Elzhi, Royce and Nas are becoming people who I will legit buy their music regardless cuz of their consistency and quality.

Let me tell you how I pictured this
A few houses, a couple businesses
Striving for greatness, we would be each other's witnesses
And during beef, we both would put aside our differences
Where I ain't flinch a bit making you insignificant
Maybe kids and shyt, perfect arithmetic
Meaning we could build our own world and co-exist in it
She a synergy, sharing energy
Let our souls mate in the air if you remember me
Now here's what I did with it
Went out my way to fukk these stripper chicks
Lost good girls making them mistresses
Just savages, missed marriages
They all was my babies, I needed those miscarriages
My worthless self when Joe felt hurt
I went and targeted women who had no self worth
I relate to praying nightly feeling no spell work
When you can do it, but a stranger gotta go help first

:damn:

budden has this ability man to connect you through his music like a real MC should do


It's not just the words tho...u can hear/feel the emotion in his delivery.

Dope to see The amount of Love this is getting, really happy for dude. I hope he sells because he deserves it, I think he said he's getting 80% of everything sold, I think he's gonna do well for himself.

Mobb Deep used......IMO I think he cut that song
because of the shot he took at Drake on the record.


It's literally the first 2 bars, he coulda just cut them lol :mjcry:
