…is going down. What’s this you ask? Just read the image above and click on it when you’re ready. Sidebar: the picture of Joey in the Hannibal Lector mask is pretty fresh I just hope they don’t use that tacky ass font for the artwork!

Pretty nifty idea right here! Amalgam Digital partnered with UStream to allow fans to watch Joey put the finishing touches on his highly awaited album, Padded Room. On Thursday, August 21st at 4-7 PM (est) they will broadcast three hours of Joey’s final studio session. Starting at 4, fans will be allowed to chat with Budden before watching him do what he does.

ooh, I killed that answer!

A more uplifting Joey speaks with Jessie Maguire & DJ Skream on WPRK 91.5′s The Backstage Pass about a slew of topics. From his upcoming album, Padded Room (Which he says drops October 28th. I wish the September 30th date stuck dammit!) to the Prodigy diss (Blood in the Wall). He let’s go of some dope info (Big Mike tape dropping before Padded Room, Mood Muzik 4 is being worked on, Papoose inspiring Dumb Out, etc). He goes in about records he wished he never recorded (Roll Your Backyard, Jinglin Baby, etc). That and more. The interview started off lackluster with the same ol same ol, but overall this turned out to be a dope conversation.

Again, they are confusing Shake with the release date of this damn album! Amalgam Digital is saying October 28th while Budden keeps swearing by a September release. Regardless, check the video above for a snippet of one of his joints entitled Blood On the Wall. Shit sounds disgusting!

As Meka elluded to in a previous post, Hood Hype had a live enteractive interview with Jerzey’s own. If you missed it, don’t fret. JMack dropped the audio for ya’ll to listen to now. Also, nation just dropped some behind the scenes (above) look at Joey’s upcoming video for Touch & Go. Padded Room dropping September 30th or October 28th.

Padded Room is psycho. Insane. Suicidal thoughts. That’s really what it comes across as. I wanted to take advantage of being unsigned and being independent… I almost wanna say it’s Mood Muzik’s cousin or some shit… I don’t think there’s more than 3 punchlines or metaphors or similies on there. – Joe Budden

Fresh new music from Jump Off. This should be on the upcoming Padded Room. EDIT2: Joey put up a bulletin on MySpace denouncing the new’ness of this record (check after the jump). I love when Joey gets personal in his music. I can really relate to shit he says most the time. Shouts to lowkeezy for this of course. A little bonus that my man Opt sent me… the full/uncensored version of a joint off MM3. “Royce fell the fuck off, I won’t mention him…” Really Joe? EDIT: Damn, more Joey … a new freestyle over Set It Off.

Following up the dope Crooked I joint we have Joe Budden’s first single off his upcoming LP, The Padded Room, in which I swagger jacked from Eskwayze who in turn swooped on Miss Info. What are peoples thoughts? Can Joey make a decent album? Or just mixtapes.
