Joe Budden

Joe Budden is an American rapper and media personality from New Jersey whose music is often framed by introspective, confessional lyricism and a direct, conversational delivery. He worked as a solo artist before joining the rap group Slaughterhouse, and his songs frequently explore personal relationships, mental health, and the pressures of the music industry. In later years he became known for his work as a podcast and media host, applying the same outspoken, analytical approach to interviews and cultural commentary.
