They’re supposed to say that.Īctually, for me, this album is celebrating independence. Do you have any expectations for this album as far as sales? I also heard the pre-order sales are doing well. I saw you’ve said you were thinking about doing a sequel. I think we just fed off of each other, and that’s the energy that manifested. I think Araab laying the groundwork and me just feeding off him and the mood in the studio… We changed a few things in our work schedule and routine. No, I wouldn’t say there was anything in particular that occurred. So was there something that happened over the last year or so that caused you to go in this direction? I was listening to your podcast, and you talked about the content on this album being different from All Love Lost. It just made all the sense in the world to name the collection that.

In part one of my conversation with Joe Budden, we talked about Rage & The Machine being his first self-release.
But now the 36-year-old East Coast representative is on his own with Mood Muzik Entertainment. He would later release several projects via the Amalgam Digital and eOne independent labels. The Jersey-bred podcast host previewed the LP with the early releases “Flex” with Tory Lanez and Fabolous as well as the Jazzy assisted “By Law.” Rage also features appearances by Joell Ortiz, Emanny, and Stacey Barthe.īudden first broke onto the scene in the early 2000’s under the Def Jam umbrella. With Araab handling the beats, Budden tackled the bars. The Slaughterhouse member connected with production partner AraabMuzik for the upcoming Rage & The Machine album. It’s in that climate that veteran rhymer Joe Budden returns with his latest musical offering. In some cases, that resentment toward the establishment has converted into outright rage. (AllHipHop Feature) With the final weeks of the 2016 presidential contest dissolving into a race to the bottom, many citizens across the country have openly expressed their anger at the current American system.
