The mail just arrived, and I got my limited edition hardcopy of “The Halfway House”, and the autographed cd cover that we were promised came separately about a week later. This cd is only being released digitally, and can be purchased on www.amalgamdigital.com for only $8.99. Like any other cd it leaked, and if you can find it, it’s worth a listen, but I will not be posting it here for download. If you’re a loyal Joe Budden fan, or if you hear it and like it, show your support by purchasing it through the website, or on Itunes. I haven’t got a chance to let the whole cd sink in yet, but so far from what I’ve heard there’s definitely some music in there that makes me proud to be a Joe Budden fan. If you purchase it on the website it comes with 2 bonus tracks. With the packaged I received, it was also confirmed that the rumors were true and Joe Budden & The Game have infact recorded a song together, which will be the single for “Padded Room” due out Feb. 24th, 2009, and the song is called “The Future”. Well I’m gonna get back to listening to the cd, CHEAH!!!!!!!!!!
The bidding ended for the hardcopy of The Halfway House that was on ebay, and it went for $80.52 including shipping!!!!

Joe Budden announced this song last week, and has had everyone in anticipation since. It features Joell Ortiz, Crooked I, Nino Bless, and Royce Da 5’9, who was recently sending jabs at Budden on wax, but it appears they have patched it up. It was supposed to air tonight on DJ Green Lantern’s Sirius radio show, but he was out of town longer then expected, so instead Joe Budden decided to leak it himself for download on www.joebuddenonline.com. It was about 6 hours late, the site crashed, cause too many people were trying to get the song, and then to every ones surprise, it actually came out before the night was over, around 11pm (Pacific Time). This song is gonna be on The Halfway House album, which is due to come out on October 28th, 2008, and will be for sale as a digital release on www.amalgamdigital.com. Be sure to pick it up to show your support.

For those that don’t know yet, Joe Budden’s album “Padded Room” was pushed back to February 09 by his label. There’s rumors going around that Joe Budden and The Game, have recently collabed for a track that is going to be the lead single for “Padded Room”, so they pushed it back to give them more time to promote the album on a bigger scale. This rumor seems very likely, due to the fact Budden and Game recently ended their beef on stage when Game reached out to him to come perform (See It Here). They can also be seen HERE together chillin, and Game rocking Budden’s labels t-shirt. I’m a fan of both of these guys, so if it turns out to be true, it should be interesting to hear. I was disappointed when the album got pushed back, cause it happens often with any Joe Budden release, but at least this time around it wasn’t a total loss. “The Halfway House” is going to be a digital release only, and you can purchase it from www.amalgamdigital.com on October 28th, which is the day Padded Room was originally set to come out. Luckily for the people that pre-ordered “Padded Room” before it got pushed back, were given an option of changing your order to getting a limited edition hard copy of “The Halfway House”, so I can’t wait to get my copy of that, along with the shirt I ordered.
Don’t forget to check out Joe Budden TV on youtube. There’s a lot of funny shit on there, and you get to take a look at the random daily events that happen in his life.
