After all the disappointments I've endured holding onto the thought of hearing official albums from the likes of Saigon, Ali Vegas, Clipse, Dre, and especially Joe Budden...I can't help but always remain skeptical whenever I hear a rapper recklessly yelling out release dates in their songs or in videos. However, after seeing it confirmed by both Budden & his label...it looks like dude will FINALLY be dropping the official follow-up to 2003's self titled debut in just a few short months. Thanks to his recent deal with Amalgam Digital, Joey's new "Padded Room LP" is scheduled to hit retail outlets on September 30th. So mark your calenders in pencil!!!

Just to add fuel to the fire...Budden himself has just leaked the tentative tracklisting along with a snippet to the new track "Blood On The Wall", some behind the scenes footage at the "Touch & Go" video shoot, and I also got some new audio from his interview on Saturday with Hood Hype which sheds some light on what to expect from "Padded Room" (see: no features. no punchlines.) Check it all out below...

Again, I apologize for the sporadic surges of posts guys, this internet situation will definitely be fixed by tomorrow mid-morning and I'll be able to bless y'all with the wealth of new material I've been waiting to post up but couldn't because of lack of a connection. My boy Ted has been doing a great job assisting me & uploading some music and posts, but nothing can compare to what I can get done on my own.

Tomorrow is a new day. I'll talk to y'all then. One.
