Joe Budden's rap career started off in New Jersey. Joe inspired by the likes of Run-DMC, LL Cool J, Rakim, KRS-One, and Kool G Rap, rapping everywhere on his street. Soon he started hitting Jersey City studios, releasing mix-tapes onto the underground.

In 1997, at age 17, Joe checked into rehab for drugs and a year later left during the program and ran away with his track record.. Joe's big break finally came in 2001 when one of his self produced albums hit Cutmuster Cee, who gave it to Webb of Desert Storm. Webb was impressed by Joe's talents and gave him studio time to make mix-tapes, and soon enough Def Jam caught a hold of Joe. In 2003 his debut album "Joe Budden" was released.

The album isn't all club bangeers, it also has songs focusing on Joe's dark past. On "Thugs Cry" Joe raps about how he went to jail after his child's mother threw his stuff out, so he trashed her stuff, and he was arrested. "Dear Angela" deals with an incidant with the same woman when she threw a knife at him. He was taken to the hospital, and she went to jail. Since then Joe's life has turned around.
