Joe Budden has been one of my favorite conscious rappers for a while now. Although his lyrics are dark they also entice your mind when it comes to things like relationships, life, etc. ‘All Love Lost‘ will drop on Friday October 16th, with features from: Marsha Ambrosius, Jadakiss, Eric Bellinger, Yummy Bingham, Felicia Temple and Emmany! You can pre-order ‘All Love Lost‘ on iTunes now, or purchase the album this Friday!

*He intelligently uses a woman (his alter ego) as a metaphor to rap about depression.
