Joe Budden
Name: Joseph Budden
Reppin': Jersey City, NJ
Breakthrough: After getting discovered by mixtape DJ Cutmaster C and releasing a barrage of mixtape material in the early 2000s, Joe Budden inked a deal with Def Jam and released his self titled debut album in 2003. The record featured the top 40 smash single "Pump It Up" and peaked at No. 8 on The Billboard 200. He's failed to match that level of commercial success in recent years, but his critically-acclaimed Mood Muzik mixtape series helped him land a deal with Amalgam Digital in 2008.
Now You Know: In 2008, Budden launched Joe Budden TV, a series of online-only video clips featuring his group Slaughterhouse (Budden, Royce Da 5'9", Crooked-I, and Joell Ortiz), rap pals like Fabolous, and, most prominently, his girlfriend Tahiry.
