Joe Budden made his way to VIBE for the inaugural episode of the VIBE TRIBE podcast. Each week, our staff will host a new chat on relevant topics in your world.
Jersey’s own stopped by to discuss his album, sports, Kanye West merch, being washed up, his podcast, Solange and much more. It was quite the conversation, and in my opinion it couldn’t have gone any better — and the outspoken emcee did not hold anything back.
Just to give some more context about some of the topics we spoke about, I pictured my favorite meme of Joe that stemmed from him chasing kids off his lawn with rocks below and the Yeezus Tour t-shirt below is what I wore during the interview.


Budden’s collab album with AraabMuzik, Rage And The Machine dropped yesterday last Friday (Oct 21). The 11-track project is stacked with features such as Fabolous, Tory Lanez, Stacy Barthe, Jazzy and Joel Ortiz. Already, the project has been receiving rave reviews –charting as the number one selling hip-hop album in the country. The sound on The Machine is way different than anything the Mood Muzik artist has ever done.
Rage And The Machine is available at select FYE and Best Buy retailers, as well as all major streaming services.
