Joe Budden born August 31, 1980 in Spanish Harlem, New York, is a rapper from Jersey City, New Jersey. He has released one album, the self named Joe Budden. He has worked with artists such as Busta Rhymes and Christina Milian, and has been involved in feuds with rapper The Game and G-Unit. He has since reconciled with The Game.

His music initially gained popularity on New York City’s famous mixtape circuit in 2002. Although his biggest mainstream hit to-date is 2003’s up-tempo “Pump It Up,” Budden is known for his reflective and often insecure lyrics. He is widely considered one of hip-hop’s most gifted lyricists, thanks largely in part to his numerous works on mixtapes by such DJ’s as DJ Clue, Clinton Sparks, DJ On Point, and DJ Envy.

On one particular mixtape song, called “Crosscountry Connection”, Joe started a feud with the G-Unit camp. The Game took offense to a line where Joe claims that gangsta rappers should “be in a G-Unit video with all the gangsta actors”, obviously claiming G-Unit are fake gangstas. Unbeknownst to Budden, The Game had just recently signed with the G-Unit camp. The Game and G-Unit fired a few diss songs Budden’s way; he replied in kind, basically killing the entire g-unit camp. The feud was ended when The Game and Budden met in a club in New York City and put the past aside.
