Review by Angela Hancock

Before The Growth is the sixth studio album by American rapper Joe Budden, released on May 13, 2015. The album features 11 tracks and includes collaborations with artists such as Emanny, Ransom, and Tsu Surf.

The album's production is top-notch, with beats that range from soulful to hard-hitting, and Budden's lyricism is as sharp as ever. The album's opening track, "Intro", sets the tone for the rest of the album with its introspective lyrics and soulful beat.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Broke", which features Emanny. The song is a powerful reflection on the struggles of growing up poor and the determination needed to rise above it. Budden's lyrics are honest and raw, and Emanny's vocals add a haunting quality to the track.

Another standout track is "Immortal", which features Ransom and Tsu Surf. The song is a gritty, hard-hitting track that showcases Budden's lyrical prowess. The three rappers trade verses over a haunting piano melody and a heavy bassline, creating a sense of urgency that drives the song forward.

About Joe Budden

Born: August 31, 1980, Spanish Harlem, New York. Following some troubled teenage years, Budden cleaned himself up and focused his sights on hip-hop fame. He teamed up with producer (aka ) and began making demos, one of which ended up in the hands of DJ Clue. Soon afterward, Budden was a mixtape fixture, freestyling over popular beats on mixes by New York's leading DJs, most notably , , and Cutmaster C. In particular, his "Grindin'" freestyle turned heads, as did one of his White Boy productions, "Focus." It wasn't long before Budden joined On Top management and went to work with , one of New York's hottest producers of the moment. Indeed, a sure-fire hit resulted: "Pump It Up," a club-ready track that connected everywhere, from MTV to the streets. While all of this was going down, industry heavyweight Def Jam signed Budden and prepared his self-titled debut album, which charted well its opening week, earned some critical support. After label delays of his second album Joey left Def Jam and started his Mood Muzik mixtape/albums which showed a more ferocious but vulnerable MC which gained him a new group of supporters.
